The massive research expenditure of Britain’s pharmaceutical companies and the fierce competition in the field ensures a continual demand for well-trained pharmacology graduates. This degree covers all aspects of drugs and their uses as medicines. You’ll learn how new drugs are discovered and tested and understand the reasons for their effectiveness in treating disease. You’ll also gain an appreciation of why new drugs are needed and how they can be developed. Our links with major pharmaceutical companies will give you the opportunity to gain valuable experience during your placement year. This degree is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology.

About this course
Pharmacology is the study of the action of drugs or other chemicals on living systems.Pharmacology studies the mechanism of action of drugs and the effects of drugs at the whole body level (therapeutic pharmacology), at the tissue level (systematic pharmacology) and at the level of DNA (molecular pharmacology).Pharmacology encompasses therapeutic pharmacology (the use of medicines in disease), chemotherapy (the use of drugs to kill foreign cells), pharmacovigilance (the monitoring of adverse reactions to drugs), drug discovery and development (techniques used in industry and academic research)The demand for new drugs continues and the University of Hertfordshire has strong links with the pharmaceutical industry which is located in this region.
104 UCAS points
