BSc Pharmacology with a year in industry

In this course, students will have the opportunity to complete a 12-month work experience in industry, in addition to their core pharmacology studies. This one-year work experience scheme will ensure graduates from this department are equipped with great work ethics and experience and are employable.

The University of Dundee ranks 5th in the UK for its pharmacology department and is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology. Thus, its curriculum is rich and promises to give students an in-depth knowledge of the study of how drugs affect body functions in health and disease. The focus of the curriculum is on neuroscience, metabolic disease, and cancer, which are the strengths of the research work at the university.

The curriculum is shaped by the work of world-leading researchers to ensure students are learning the latest innovations of the field, as well as the fundamentals. By the end of the degree programme, students would have developed practical skills, including laboratory skills, data analysis, and how to design and run experiments.

Students will be taught through lectures, lab practicals, workshops, tutorials, computer-based learning, video exercises, and field excursions where appropriate, and will be evaluated based on practical reports (based on lab work), computer-based exercises, data processing exercises, essays, and exams.
