Course Summary

Our MSc in Pharmacology and Drug Development will provide you with unique and unrivalled opportunities to immerse yourself in the clinical, basic science and industrial aspects of pharmacology – to ultimately push the boundaries of contemporary knowledge in pharmacology and drug development. Pharmacology explores how drugs interact with biological systems. It plays a vital role in understanding the effects, mechanisms, and therapeutic uses of medications across a wide range of healthcare fields, including medicine, nursing, dentistry, and veterinary science. By studying pharmacology, we gain insights into how drugs are developed, how they work in the body, and how they can be used safely and effectively to treat diseases. This knowledge is essential for advancing medical research, improving patient care, and shaping the future of healthcare. On this course, you will gain the skills to play an active role in developing the next generation of drugs – either from first principles in the lab, testing in clinical trials, or taking new products to clinic. You will understand the fundamental principles of pharmacology and the clinical relevance of drugs for the major organ systems, whilst demonstrating the drug development process, from initial drug design to understanding the importance of clinical trials.
