A pharmacology degree is your opportunity to study and research new and existing drugs how they work how they affect our bodies and how they can be used to change lives and tackle global healthcare challenges.With plenty of practical study, you will learn how drugs interact with living systems, how they affect our bodies and communities, and their important role in society.**Unlock the power of medicine**This degree will provide you with a deep understanding of how drugs and medicines interact with living systems and affect our bodies which is crucial to health in our society.In addition to studying drug development, mechanisms of action, therapeutic uses, and potential side effects, you'll also gain insight into the wider societal and regulatory context in which drugs are used, as well as new drugs being developed.We’ve designed the content of our course to align with the British Pharmacological Society’s core curriculum, equipping you with the skills and knowledge you need to understand and work in the world of pharmacology. This integrated master’s degree (MSci) is ideal if you are looking for a career in the drug sciences, offering you the scientific knowledge, practical lab skills and career-ready mindset to succeed.Pharmacology graduates are in increasing demand with employers who will value your skills in experimental design, research, data recording and statistical analysis as well as teamworking, negotiation and communication. You will also build transferable skills and analytical training that will open up potential careers in other fields such as management, teaching, marketing and finance.**Your journey through pharmacology**The course content is highly structured as it is aligned with the British Pharmacological Society’s core curriculum. The majority of modules are therefore compulsory.- In Year 1 you will gain a thorough grounding in the biomedical basis of pharmacology by studying core topics including an introduction to pharmacology, the molecules of life, genetics and molecular biology.- In Year 2, you will study more advanced topics within the field of pharmacology, including molecular genetics, microbiology and immunology, and drug design and development. This will enable you to grow your practical skills that provide you with an understanding of the experimental techniques used in modern pharmacological research.- In Year 3 you will focus on themes such as neuropharmacology and advanced drug design and development and you will put your learning into practice with an independent research project. This is your opportunity to make your own, unique contribution to increasing scientific knowledge in an area of pharmacology that fascinates you. You will be supported by our research-active academics whose research includes neglected tropical diseases like leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis and snakebite as well as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and inflammatory conditions like asthma and psoriasis. At the end of your third year, you can either choose to graduate with a BSc or, if you achieve the required grades, proceed to the fourth year of the MSci.- In Year 4 you will gain additional practical skills by undertaking another more extended research project, as well as studying a variety of master’s level themes. This additional experience will be invaluable in a future career, particularly if you go on to a research-based role in the pharmacology, pharmaceutical, health or biotechnology sectors, or further study.**A hands-on course**The pharmacology facilities at Lancaster are excellent. Our state-of-the-art life science teaching laboratories will be at the centre of your degree and are where you will put the knowledge you have acquired from lectures and tutorials into practice.**Important Information**For the most up-to-date course information and more details, we recommend that you revisit our website before submitti
