About Pharmacology
Is Pharmacology right for me?
Pharmacology is a flexible career path, which means it’s possible to hone into a specialisation that best suits your aptitude and temperament. For example, you could work in product management, marketing or medical information, using your knowledge of Pharmacology to facilitate communication between pharmaceutical companies, doctors and patients.
Pharmacology study options and costs
In most countries, you’ll be required to complete coursework in a classroom or laboratory setting as well as clinical practice or practical research. It’s also worth looking into whether you need any licenses or accreditations to work as a Pharmacologist in the country of your choice.
Bear in mind the difference between Pharmacology and Pharmacy courses when you go to choose your study path. Pharmacy courses are focused on the dispensing of prescription medicines, while Pharmacology is more about the research of chemical compounds and medical innovations.
Future outlook
Career pathways for Pharmacology graduates
Pharmacologist
As a pharmacologist, you’ll be responsible for developing and analysing substances that will be used to treat disease. This involves modifying substances to minimise side effects, carrying out experiments to determine how drug concentrations change in the body over time and studying what happens to the body after a drug has been administered. You’ll also test new substances, write scientific reports on your research, and provide advice to healthcare workers, politicians and the general public.
Pharmacist
Pharmacists work within the community to dispense prescription medication and offer advice. As a pharmacist, you will also provide vaccinations and conduct basic medical tests on patients or customers. Pharmacists can also work in industrial settings, developing and quality testing new medicines.
Toxicologist
Toxicologists test bodily fluids and tissue samples during the autopsy process to identify any chemicals or toxins that may be present. Typically working in laboratories, they are well-versed in a variety of methods required to determine the precise amount of drugs, poisons or toxins within a person’s body.
Biomedical scientist
Biomedical scientists work to better understand human diseases, including diagnosis, treatment and prevention. By studying the human body, biomedical scientists help to find new ways to cure or treat diseases.
Analytical chemist
Analytical chemists investigate the chemical nature of substances, conduct laboratory research, design instruments and participate in the product development process. In this way, they help to ensure that products are safe for human usage.
