Overview
During the Pharmacology programme of the University of Glasgow you may have the opportunity to go on a work placement to companies such as AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer.
You can take Pharmacology as an MSci, which includes an additional placement year, between the third and final years of the degree, normally doing research in industry or a research institute in the UK or overseas.
Career Prospects
Many of our graduates work in academia and the pharmaceutical industry. The majority of graduates continue with research studies and gain MSc and PhD qualifications before moving into employment.
Pharmacology is not the same as pharmacy and this degree does not qualify you as a pharmacist.
