About the course

Our Pharmacology BSc provides a broad and varied coverage of modern biological sciences, where you will investigate some of the most exciting areas of current life sciences research. On successful completion of the programme, you will develop the skill set required to pursue a career in the pharmaceutical industry. With a focus on molecular pharmacology and drug discovery, our BSc offers a strong grounding in the core biological areas that underpin effective study in the field. You will gain a solid understanding of biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, physiology and anatomy and their application to the development and pharmacology of acquired and inherited disease.

　　To strengthen your understanding in these core areas and to provide context to your learning, you will explore:

　　The mode of action of drugs used in the treatment of a wide range of conditions

　　Selective toxicity

　　Modern drug discovery

　　Emerging technologies in drug development

　　The drug development pipeline

　　The wider societal impact of pharmacology

　　During years two and three of your studies, you will have the flexibility to choose from optional modules that are aligned to your career goals or interests. In your third year, you will put the skills you have developed into practice by completing an experimental research project, which can either be completed at Keele or whilst on placement in a real research or industrial environment.

　　To enhance your communication skills, you will present your research findings at our final year conference, where you will benefit from enhanced networking and employer engagement opportunities. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
