Pharmacology

About this course

Pharmacology is the science of drugs: how they are discovered, how they interact with the biological systems of the human body, and how they can be used to treat disease or modified to be more effective and safer. It sits at the intersection of biochemistry, physiology, and medicine, asking how chemical compounds produce their effects at the molecular level, how those effects translate into clinical outcomes, and how the processes of drug development from laboratory discovery to clinical trial to approved medicine work. Pharmacology is the scientific foundation on which the pharmaceutical industry is built. At Nottingham Trent University this three-year full-time degree develops your understanding through a practical approach that mirrors what pharmacologists do in the workplace. You will study the science of drugs and their impact on living systems from the molecular to the whole-organ
