Program Overview

Advance your career in pharmacology by gaining master's level problem-solving, communication and research skills to drive innovation in drug discovery and development. Combing a unique blend of cutting-edge theory and extensive practical experience, our four-year programme will be of particular interest to those who wish to continue in a research career, such as further study to PhD level, work in industry or the wider bioscience sector.

Our MSci programme is designed to enhance your employability and deepen your subject-specific expertise by exploring advanced research topics, such as experimental design, data analysis, presentation, evaluation, literature reviews, and grant proposals. You will also develop advanced research skills by undertaking  an extended research project where you will formulate a research question and design and conduct investigations to address it.

At the start of the programme, you will gain a broad introduction to biological sciences including biochemistry, physiology, molecular cell biology and pharmacology. You will also begin to develop key employability skills and laboratory practice through our dedicated suite of practical and professional development modules.

Building on this foundation, the programme explores the mechanisms of drug action for treating various conditions, including cardio-metabolic disorders and central nervous system diseases. the concept of selective toxicity, its application in addressing microbial infections, cancer therapies, and the effects of drugs of abuse and poisons. To prepare you for your research projects, you will begin to develop skills in experimental design and data analysis.

At the end of your second year, you will have the opportunity to enhance your employability by undertaking a work placement or studying abroad. A range of optional modules will also allow you to tailor the programme to align with your personal interests and career aspirations.

In your third year you will investigate the full drug development pipeline, from candidate selection to clinical trials, while developing an awareness of experimental methodologies and ethical considerations. You will also undertake a research project. Your research project is an excellent opportunity to carry out a substantial piece of meaningful research, drawing together skills in experimental study design, critical interpretation of data, and professional competencies.

Your final year is strategically designed to provide you with advanced employability skills and subject-specific knowledge. You'll gain sophisticated problem-solving and communication skills, critically evaluate scientific literature, and undertake an authentic extended research project. You will also have the opportunity to demonstrate a range of professional skills such as leadership, innovation, communication and the ability to work safely and ethically.
