Course summary
Our passion for pharmacology stretches over half a century of studying drugs and how their application affects the prevention and treatment of disease. This is why we look to the future by placing emphasis on emerging therapeutic strategies and research opportunities on our new, revamped course. Our lecturers' calibre has been recognised by the British Pharmacology Society (BPS) with the 2014 Rang Prize for excellence in pharmacological teaching. They will give you a thorough introduction to every area of pharmacology through our diverse and flexible approach. If you don't have the standard qualifications or you're coming from an extended break in education, our foundation year is the perfect building block to move you onto the next level – even if you're not sure if this is the right degree for you.

Applicants should have, or be working towards, grade C in GCSE English and Mathematics (or equivalent Level 2 qualification such as Functional Skills Level 2 in English and Mathematics or Key Skills Level 2 in Application of Number and Communication) Entry requirements are intended only as a guide for applicants. They are not a guarantee of an offer, nor of the conditions that may apply.
