If you study Pharmaceutical Sciences BSc at XJTLU, you can study Pharmacology BSc (Hons) at the University of Liverpool on the XJTLU 2+2 programme. View other pathway options or see all XJTLU 2+2 programmes.

Pharmacology BSc (Hons)

Pharmacology is an exciting branch of experimental science in which you'll study how chemical substances interact with our bodies.

The programme covers the latest developments in pharmacology and related fields and explores how pharmacological principles underpin the creation of medicines used to treat a wide range of diseases. The program will cover a broad range of modules, including drug discovery and development, the cellular basis of health and disease, translational pharmacology, and advanced pharmacology and therapeutics, with the opportunity to conduct an independent research project tailored to your interests.

Students will gain an understanding of novel drug types and state-of-the-art drug delivery techniques at the cutting edge of pharmacology. Graduates from this programme will be critical and independent thinkers, able to solve complex problems in pharmacology.
