BSc Pharmacology with a Modern Language

Our BSc Pharmacology with a Modern Language course will enable you to develop your language skills while studying drug actions on living systems - where they act, what they do, how they are metabolised, and how they exert toxic effects.

Understanding all of this requires studying drug actions at levels ranging from the single molecule to the whole organism.

As a result, our course includes aspects of molecular biology, chemistry, physiology and neuroscience, and you will examine both the actions of current drugs and the development of new drugs throughout the course.

We offer French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Mandarin for the language component of the course, which includes a year abroad on a research placement.

Our course has Advanced Accreditation from the  Royal Society of Biology , which recognises academic excellence in the biosciences and highlights degrees that educate the research and development leaders and innovators of the future.
