Pharmacology (With Foundation Year) (Hons) Bangor University

Overview

This Pharmacology (With Foundation Year) (Hons) from Bangor University  equips you with a basic, essential understanding of the anatomical, biological and chemical principles that underpin the field of medical sciences – before you progress to the BSc Pharmacology.

Key Facts:

• The additional year better prepares you both for higher level study and a career as a modern scientist and researcher. As well as the fundamentals of good laboratory practice, you’ll learn core academic and numeracy skills, such as drafting essays, referencing your work, statistics, data handling and interrogation.
• Learning within the medical sciences at Bangor is very much hands-on, grounded in the real-world experiences of lecturers, and driven by the latest scientific research. State-of-the-art labs allow you to develop and apply your knowledge at the interface of scientific discovery and clinical practice.
• Our own expertise includes, among other things, the use of computer modelling and simulation of drug dosing, exposure and action, investigation into the actions and toxicities of anticancer drugs, use of pharmacogenomics, and determination of the clinical benefit and cost-effectiveness of medicines.
• We work closely with national and international organisations involved in pharmaceutical policy relating to pharmacogenomics, treatment of rare diseases and health service reimbursement. We offer a rich experience to develop skills that are relevant across the spectrum of pharmacology – from the basic sciences through to clinical use and policy, and which are transferable to maximise students’ employment potential.
• *Courses validated by Bangor University are subject to review (approximately every 5 years) to ensure that the: course content remains relevant; curriculum reflects any changes prompted by developments in academic research; and that course quality continues to meet our high standards. When this process is undertaken the course will appear as being 'subject to revalidation'.
