Pharmacology and Health Science

About this course

Pharmacology is the science of how drugs interact with biological systems, examining the mechanisms by which chemical compounds affect physiology, the ways in which drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolised and excreted, and the basis for both therapeutic effects and adverse reactions. Health science extends this foundation to consider the broader contexts of health and disease, public health policy, healthcare systems and the translation of scientific knowledge into clinical and public health practice. Together they provide a rigorous scientific education with direct relevance to medicine, pharmaceuticals, public health and healthcare policy. This three-year full-time degree at the University of Bedfordshire is aligned to the areas of need identified by the British Pharmacological Society, including clinical pharmacology, public health science and healthcare policy.
