Pharmacology

The MSci Pharmacology degree is a four-year degree with an extended research project in the final year. This degree provides the opportunity to gain an excellent knowledge of pharmacology and apply it to experimental research. The first three years of this degree follow the BSc Pharmacology course, with the opportunity to study a number of core pharmacology units in the first two years.

The degree is focused on the pharmacology of the nervous and cardiovascular systems and provides extensive investigation into how drugs are being used in a variety of disorders. Third-year units emphasise the molecular mechanisms of drug action within the nervous and cardiovascular systems. The final year of the MSci Pharmacology will focus on an extended research proposal within a research laboratory using advanced techniques.
