This course explores approaches to treatment with a focus on neuroscience, metabolic disease, and cancer – all research strengths at Dundee. This gives you an understanding of how scientists explore biomedical discoveries and develop them from initial innovation to real-world application.
You’ll focus on topics like molecular pharmacology and quantitative pharmacology – how drugs behave depending on various factors.
Gaining an understanding of key theories, from the molecular level to full body systems and beyond, is important to understand the field as a whole.
Your first two years will cover concepts including genetics, cell division, biological organisation, molecular mechanisms, and processes.
You’ll develop practical skills, including laboratory skills, data analysis, and how to design and run experiments. This will prepare you for carrying out projects later in your course.
You will pick modules that suits your interests and can transfer to a different life sciences degree if you choose the relevant modules.
Our course curriculum is shaped by the work of our world-leading researchers to make sure you’re learning the latest advances, as well as gaining an understanding of the fundamentals of the field.
Lab sessions will bring together your knowledge and practical skills, as well as helping you develop strong transferable skills.
Pharmacology graduates are employed in many areas of medical and veterinary research including universities, industry, and government-financed institutions.
Pharmacologists have played a pivotal role in the UK pharmaceutical industry with an excellent record of drug discovery and development. Their skills are also valued in other fields such as clinical trials, drug regulation, and pharmaceutical marketing.
The International Year Zero is the first year of the four year undergraduate course. IYZ is designed to help you gain extra skills in your subject area, as well as English Language, before you continue to year one of your chosen University undergraduate degree course.
