Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Pharmacology with Foundation Year

Program Overview

Our passion for pharmacology and our reputation for excellence stretches back to the distant days when the University of East London was called the West Ham Technical Institute.

After half a century of studying drugs and how their application affects the prevention and treatment of disease, we're now celebrating the landmark 50th anniversary of our pharmacology teaching and research at UEL.

Not only are we sure we've never been better, but we think our future's never been more exciting.

A new, revamped course will equip you for a rewarding future in what our prize-winning, internationally recognised lecturers believe is the most fascinating of the biosciences.

We'll give you a thorough introduction to every area of pharmacology through our diverse and flexible approach. You'll also leave with a thorough understanding of areas such as molecular biology, physiology, microbiology, genetics and toxicology.

You'll be in the lab learning pharmacological techniques that will back up your lectures and demonstrate how medicines work.

You'll be involved in groundbreaking research projects and have access to excellent work opportunities. This could be in the form of an optional placement year or a shorter summer placement at a major organisation such as the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) or in our own labs working with our internationally recognised researchers.

Our foundation year is perfect if you want to study for a degree in pharmacology but you don't have the standard qualifications, if you're not sure if this is the right degree for you or you're coming from an extended break in education.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

We've made this an up-to-date yet still classical pharmacology course, and one which employers will recognise for the quality of the graduates it delivers.

As with our other bioscience degrees, the first year provides a solid, general background in biochemistry, human anatomy, cell biology and genetics. This uniform approach means you can still transfer to another degree course at the start of your second year should you wish.

Second-year students learn the fundamental pharmacological concepts, drug discovery and development as well as advanced biochemistry and disease processes. In your third year, you'll examine pharmacological treatment for diseases of the nervous system and other organ systems as well as toxicology.

One of the strengths of BSc Pharmacology at the University of East London is the emphasis we place on emerging therapeutic strategies and research opportunities. It means you can undertake a fascinating and significant lab-based research project in your final year.
