BSc (Hons) Pharmacology

Pharmacology is the study of how medicines work and how they affect us. Pharmacologists contribute greatly to medicine through the discovery of new treatments. A Pharmacology BSc degree will provide you with the opportunity for an innovative and exciting career in discovering and testing new drugs or conducting research through clinical trials. This Pharmacology BSc degree will prepare you for a career in the pharmaceutical and biotech industry or in academic research.
The Pharmacology BSc is designed to equip you with science-based skills and knowledge in medicines and how they work, as well as how they are used, and assessed for their effectiveness and value. The course combines different forms of teaching that cover the principles of pharmacology, cancer and cardiovascular pharmacology, pharmacogenomics, pharmacoeconomics, and many other topic areas. You will study how drugs are discovered, trialled in humans, and assessed by organisations such as regulatory authorities and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.
This Pharmacology BSc will enable you to develop, integrate and apply your knowledge at the interface of scientific discovery and clinical practice. Your rich understanding of the whole pathway for medicines, from the basic sciences to policy, will provide skills for various career opportunities, including large and small pharmaceutical and biotech industries, healthcare organisations and academic research. With an upper second class Honours, you would be eligible to apply for Graduate Entry Medicine at almost all UK medical schools who offer this.
You will be taught within Bangor University’s School of Medical and Health Sciences by academics who are leading researchers in their fields. You will have access to a state-of-the-art laboratory facility, lecture theatres and IT infrastructure. The course will be delivered using a blended approach, using face-to-face and dispersed teaching methods. You will also gain practical experience through work-based placements in a range of local settings. These will include, for example, companies involved in the manufacture of medicines, genetic tests and wound care products, as well as clinical research facilities. Throughout these placements, you will receive mentorship from trained supervisors.
