Pharmacology is a research-based discipline involving the study of interactions of chemical substances with tissues of the body. Drugs are substances that produce an effect on body systems, and medicines contain drugs formulated for therapeutic use. Pharmacologists are research scientists whose primary role is to study the mechanism of action of new and existing drugs on systems, tissues and cells of the body. They are involved also with the design and development of new and improved therapeutic agents. These roles are strongly based in both biological and chemical sciences.
Our academic staff members have national and international reputations in their research fields, and this supports and enhances the quality of the teaching that is delivered. The relatively small intake (around 20 students) means that staff-student ratios are good. The small group size also helps to develop an excellent rapport and community feeling amongst staff and students across all years of the programme.
If you have a strong interest in the function and dysfunction of the body, and you are a keen and accomplished practical scientist, then Pharmacology is the degree for you. The Pharmacology programme at the University of Bath balances a mixture of classical pharmacological approaches with newer technologies, and is still very much based on active lab work. It has the added advantage of the opportunity for a year’s professional placement in an external research environment. Overall, the Bath Pharmacology degree has a very strong reputation in both academic circles and the Pharmaceutical Industry, and our graduates are highly sought after in both sectors.
