Biochemistry covers the molecular aspects of living organisms, aiming to provide a full understanding of cellular processes in both health and disease. It forms the basis for several related subjects such as pharmacology, immunology, genetics and medicine.

All elements of the course are designed to give you extensive practical experience and to develop critical thinking, attributes which are both highly valued by employers.

Pharmacology is the study of how chemicals, particularly drugs, interact with living systems both in health and disease. The Pharmacology degree at Kingston University
covers subjects such as 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. In contrast to Pharmaceutical Science studies, pharmacology is more biased towards biological processes and the chemistry component is limited to Level 1 of this degree.

The Pharmacology degree at Kingston University enables you to study the subject in the context of its changing emphasis towards a molecular approach. The degree meets the requirements of the core curricula set out by the British Pharmacology Society and includes the option of an extended period of work experience.
