Pharmacology with Foundation Year (Hons) University of Wolverhampton

Overview

The Pharmacology with Foundation Year (Hons) courses from University of Wolverhampton aims to:

• To provide a deep-rooted understanding of the fundamentals principles of chemistry and biology as applicable to pharmacology. Your foundation year is designed to introduce you to studying in a pharmaceutical environment.  This will inspire and motive your enthusiasm for the subject, which will prepare you for the rest of the course.

• To provide an understanding of normal and abnormal bodily function, the biology of disease (aetiology and epidemiology) and the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of medicines (collectively known as pharmacokinetics) and their therapeutic actions. 

• These actions include drug mechanisms of action, interactions, adverse reactions, cautions, contraindications (collectively known as pharmacodynamics), misuse and to gain an insight into the theory of how medications are used.
