The subject of pharmacology is immensely broad and covers areas of physiology, chemistry, neuroscience, biochemistry, and genetics. This flexible three-year programme offers a thorough training in the subject and students retain the option of applying to transfer to the MSci at the end of year two.

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

In the first year, all modules are compulsory, giving you a solid foundation to draw on during years two and three. Year two mainly comprises compulsory work, including both practical classes and lectures, but you will have a choice for one of your modules. In your final year you have only one compulsory module, leaving you free to pursue your interests by choosing from a wide range of advanced, specialist options such as psychopharmacology and immunopharmacology.

Each year you will study modules worth a total of 120 credits. Large modules, typically running over terms one and two, account for 30 credits while smaller modules account for 15 credits.

Many students undertake a nine-week laboratory research project in their final year. This provides an opportunity to work side-by-side with some of the most outstanding scientists in the field. You may find this particularly helpful in making choices about your future career, and whether you would like to pursue postgraduate study.

You may also consider applying to take a year out in industry. This is taken between years two and three, spending your time in the pharmaceutical industry or another pharmacology-related area. These placements are not guaranteed because they are offered by industry on a competitive basis, but contacts between our staff and colleagues in industry often open up many opportunities.

Upon successful completion of 360 credits, you will be awarded a BSc (Hons) in Pharmacology.
