Pharmacology with a Year in Industry

About this course

Pharmacology is the science of how chemical substances interact with biological systems, particularly how drugs produce their effects in the body and how those effects can be harnessed therapeutically or understood mechanistically. It is a discipline that bridges biochemistry, physiology, cell biology, and medicine, and it is fundamental to the development of new treatments for disease. Understanding how a drug works at the molecular level, how it distributes through the body, how it is metabolised and excreted, and how individual variation affects its effects are all questions at the heart of pharmacology, and they are questions with direct consequences for human health. At the University of Reading, this four-year, full-time programme includes a year in industry, in which you spend a structured period working in a pharmaceutical company, medical research organisation, or related indus
