Pharmacology

About this course

Pharmacology is the scientific study of how drugs interact with biological systems, how they produce their therapeutic effects, and what happens when things go wrong. It sits at the interface of chemistry, physiology, and medicine, asking at the molecular and cellular level why particular compounds affect the body as they do, how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolised, and excreted, and how the design of new medicines can be guided by a deep understanding of those processes. Pharmacology is central to drug discovery and development, and it underpins the evidence base for clinical practice in every area of medicine. At University College London, one of the world's leading research universities, this three-year full-time programme gives you a pharmacology education of exceptional depth and rigour.
