About this course

Why choose this course?

This course explores how chemicals, particularly drugs, interact with living systems both in health and disease. It focuses on the biological rather than chemical processes, and meets the requirements set out by the British Pharmacology Society. You will have the option to undertake an extended period of work experience.

You can also study Pharmacology in combination with Business and Chemistry. See the course combinations section for more information.

What will you study?

You will learn about the physiological processes within the body; how drugs interact with the body, from cellular to organ level; how a response to the drug is initiated; how the effect is controlled; and how the body deals with various drugs.
