Profile
How do we develop the next generation of drugs for treating bacterial infection, AIDS, cancer, depression and heart failure? These are among the challenges being addressed by pharmacologists at Southampton. Our BSc Pharmacology degree will prepare you to make your own contribution to this important work.
This 3-year programme will give you an in-depth understanding of the major pharmacological concepts and principles.
These include:
- the discovery and production of new drugs
- the interaction of drugs with humans and animals
- how existing drugs can be improved or repurposed
- ways to solve the problems of toxicity
- new-generation antibiotics
You’ll refine your practical skills in our state-of-the-art teaching labs. This will prepare you to work with our experts in pharmacology and undertake your individual research project in year 3.
As part of your degree you can also:
- spend a year working in the pharmaceutical industry between years 2 and 3
- spend a semester at a partner university abroad during year 2
Practicals which use animals or their tissues are an important part of the course. These practicals follow ethical policies and we’ll make adjustments for you if you have valid concerns about taking part.
