Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences in Pharmacology

Program Overview

In this course, you will explore different areas of biology related to human health and disease. It is a flexible course in which you can tailor your studies to your preferred career path – from vaccine development to formulating new pharmaceuticals.

In your first year, you will complete foundation studies in human biology, genetics, cell biology, microbiology and immunology. You'll also study relevant areas of biostatistics, chemistry and scientific communication.

You'll then choose one or two majors, as well as specialisations and optional units. All options combine theory with practical sessions in advanced laboratories, where you'll work on real-world scenarios that will prepare you for your future career.

 

Major: Pharmacology
Pharmacology explores the effects of drugs on living organisms, and is the foundation for a career in drug discovery and development.

In this major, you will gain a strong understanding of drug action against microorganisms and pharmacological management of health conditions. You’ll undertake computer-based simulations and laboratory work covering molecular, cellular and physiological responses; and modern drug analysis techniques.

You’ll also learn about the dose–response relationship, toxicity, and drug metabolism and elimination; drug design and development; and how genetic variation between populations influences drug response.
