Course Overview

This degree is for those who want to specialise in a single biomedical sciences option at the Masters's level. The MSc Advanced Pharmacology will provide a comprehensive three-part science training module.

Firstly, unlike many Masters's courses, we offer dedicated training in a broad suite of practical laboratory skills.

Secondly, this is complemented by two unique classes that develop your transferrable skills in statistics, presentations, career development, and ethics, as well as honing your science writing skills and ability to design experiments and analyse sophisticated datasets.

Thirdly, our taught classes capture the excitement of cutting-edge research fields, and you'll be led by active researchers or practising clinical professionals.

A choice of classes allows you to select a pathway to suit your future aspirations. The programme specialises in how drugs and other chemicals affect the body in terms of health and disease. You'll explore the development of new and improved medicines and the treatment of illness.
