MBiolSci Biological Sciences (Physiology with Pharmacology)
Course Overview
This four-year MBiolSci in Biological Sciences with a specialization in Physiology and Pharmacology provides an advanced understanding of how the body functions and how drugs are used to treat disease when these systems fail. You will develop expert research and laboratory skills through a major project in a specialist area such as cellular communication, neuroscience, or cardiovascular science. The course is designed to create highly skilled graduates valued by PhD programs, research institutions, and a wide range of employers.
Key Program Highlights
- Specialize in the interconnected fields of physiology (how the body works) and pharmacology (how drugs interact with the body to control disease).
- Conduct an extensive research project in your fourth year to refine advanced lab techniques and critical analytical skills.
- Focus on cutting-edge topics including cellular communication, neuroscience, and cardiovascular science.
- Includes the option to spend a year in industry or study abroad between your second and third years.
- Graduate with a master's-level degree (MBiolSci) that is highly valued for PhD opportunities and research careers.
