Course Overview
If you’re interested in science behind drugs and medicine but don’t have the required entry qualifications to join our BSc programme or are a mature student returning to education, our BSc with a Foundation Year is the right course for you.
The foundation year of this four-year course will introduce you to the key concepts and knowledge you need to progress to the BSc in Medical Pharmacology. Following successful completion of the Foundation Year with at least a 60% overall average, students will progress onto Year 1 of the BSc.
You will cover a diverse range of topics, including pharmacology, toxicology, pharmacogenomics, physiology, chemistry, genetics, immunology, and drug development. You will be able to tailor your studies to your own interests with optional modules including cardiovascular science, diabetes, cancer pharmacology, reproductive biology, neuroscience and nanotoxicology.
You will develop excellent analytical and project management skills, and learn how to design experiments and plan work programmes to prepare you for your future careers.
