Course programme
Course detail Description
The taught component of the course includes a compulsory lecture-based module in which you will study systems and cellular pharmacology, which is complemented by a lab-based practical module. You will also undertake projects to develop your critical thinking and research skills, such as a literature research module, a research design module and a lab-based practical research project.
On the MSc you will take 180 credits including a 60 credit research project.
On the MRes you will take 240 credits, the additional credits coming from an extended experimental research project, which will enable you to pursue an area of your own interest to a high level and to prepare for possible future research.
