The BSc (Hons) Pharmacology at University of Bristol is a undergraduate programme designed for students passionate about improving patient care. Based in Bristol, England, this Russell Group university offers a research-led approach to learning, with a 3-year full-time structure. Pharmacology is the study of the action of drugs in the widest possible sense; it encompasses many types of chemicals that affect the functioning of the body rather than just medicines. For the first two years, you will study a number of core units run by the School of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience and choose others from a wide selection, such as biochemistry, molecular genetics, infection and immunity, cellular and molecular medicine and mammalian physiology. Final-year units emphasise the molecular mechanisms of drug action and take you to the forefront of current research. International tuition fees are £33,400 per year, home/UK fees are £9,535 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 88% student satisfaction rating, a median graduate salary of £26,500 within three years, a 90% continuation rate, and 80% of graduates in employment or further study.
