药理学是关于药物的发现和表征，这些药物既可以用作药物也可以用作实验工具，以增进我们对身体在健康和疾病中的了解。药理学主要涉及药物特性和作用方式的表征以及新药的发现。药理学的研究和实践还包括药物毒性，药物使用方式以及药物吸收，在体内分布，代谢和排泄的过程。该学位为您提供了在工业，商业或研究环境中工作一年的机会，并在五年后以MSci（本科硕士学位）而不是BSc的身份毕业。
Pharmacology is about the discovery and characterisation of drugs that are used either as medicines or as experimental tools for advancing our understanding of the body in health and disease.Pharmacology is concerned primarily with the characterisation of the properties and modes of action of drugs and with the discovery of new drugs. The study and practice of pharmacology also includes drug toxicity, the way drugs are used and the processes by which drugs are absorbed, distributed in the body, metabolised and excreted.This degree programme aims to instil a broad base of knowledge about drugs at the molecular, cellular, tissue and systems level. Additionally, you will gain an in depth understanding of selected aspects of Pharmacology, which reflect the research expertise and strengths of the School e.g. neuropharmacology, cancer and toxicology. This research-led approach delivers a modern, relevant and cutting edge programme equipping graduates with the experience and skills required for success in Pharmacology (and other) careers.
