Course programme

Year 1

This is a one-year course based on a combination of required and optional modules. You will study modules to a total of 120 credits. Since drug discovery involves experimental studies, and to fully appreciate what Pharmacology has to offer, we strongly advise you to choose at least one module that involves some experimental work, especially if you decide not to take an experimental research project.

You are required to take 30 credits from one of the following two modules:

  • Cell & Molecular Pharmacology (30 credits)

  • Cellular Basis of Drug Dependence (30 credits)

In addition, take 90 credits from a range of modules that may typically include:
