Pharmacology and Drug Discovery with Foundation Year

About this course

Pharmacology and drug discovery sits at the heart of modern medicine, concerned with how new medicines are identified, developed and brought to the point where they can be used to treat disease. It combines the fundamental science of how drugs interact with biological systems with the practical and regulatory challenges of the discovery process, from identifying candidate compounds to understanding their safety and efficacy in biological models. The pharmaceutical industry spends enormous resources on this process, and graduates with expertise in it are consistently in demand. At the University of East Anglia, this four-year full-time programme includes a foundation element, which provides thorough preparation in the underpinning sciences before the main degree begins. This makes the programme accessible to students who wish to build their chemistry, biology and mathematics knowledge fr
