BSc Pharmacology Pathway
About this course
BSc (Hons) Pharmacology Pathway, a pharmacology degree focused on biomolecular sciences, physiological systems, and disease mechanisms. Students complete a college-based first-year HNC before progressing to GCU for the remainder of the degree. Year 2 establishes fundamentals through Core Skills in Biosciences 2, Infection and Immunity, Cellular Regulation and Metabolism, Practical Skills In Biomolecular Sciences, Fundamentals of Pharmacology, and Human Physiology in Health and Disease. Year 3 advances into Clinical Genetics, Systems Pharmacology, Anti-cancer & Anti-microbial Mechanisms, and Experimental Design & Analysis, alongside optional studies including Bioinformatics, Forensic Pharmacology & Analysis, and Bioscience Placement. Year 4 concludes the course with a Project & Workshop, Biology of Disease, Translational Medicine, Neuropharmacology, and Emerging Therapeutic Technologies.
