Pharmacology and Physiology with Foundation

About this course

Pharmacology and physiology together address how the body works and how drugs act upon it, two questions that are intimately connected and mutually illuminating. Physiology examines the normal functioning of the human body at every level, from the molecular mechanisms within cells to the integrated systems of organs and tissues that maintain life. Pharmacology investigates how chemical substances interact with those systems, how they are absorbed, distributed and metabolised, how they produce their therapeutic effects and how their side effects arise. Together, the two disciplines form the scientific foundation for understanding medicine, drug development and clinical practice. At the University of Westminster this four-year programme begins with a foundation year designed to prepare you for advanced study, whether you need to strengthen your scientific background, want to change direct
