It is a discipline that sits at the intersection of biochemistry, physiology, chemistry and medicine, and it plays a central role in one of the world's most important industries. Understanding how drugs work at the molecular and systems level requires both deep biological knowledge and a command of the chemical principles that determine how medicines behave in the body. At Bangor University, this three-year core programme is available with a foundation year for students who need an additional period of scientific preparation before engaging with the main degree curriculum. You will study drug receptors and signalling pathways, pharmacokinetics (h
