Biomedical Science (Pharmacology) with Industrial Placement

About this course

Biomedical science with a pharmacology specialism examines the molecular and cellular mechanisms through which drugs and other chemical agents interact with biological systems, producing their therapeutic, toxic and physiological effects. Pharmacology is fundamental to medicine, underpinning the development of every drug that enters clinical use and providing the scientific basis for understanding how and why treatments work, why they sometimes fail, and how they can be improved. Studying it within the broader framework of biomedical science gives you a grounding in the full range of biological systems, with particular depth in drug action and its clinical relevance. At the University of Aberdeen this five-year programme includes both an industrial placement and a year abroad, giving you an unusually rich combination of professional experience and international academic exposure.
