Year 2 takes a more detailed look at the process of drug discovery and development, both from an historical and a predictive standpoint. You will learn laboratory based skills that are essential to drug discovery and testing as well as the therapeutic uses of pharmacological agents. This year will also include a detailed look at the pharmacodynamic principles of medicines, cell function and genetics as well as the sites and modes of drug action.

Year 3 is where you will undertake your research project in an aspect of pharmacology. This is intended to take up a third of your time and in the remaining two thirds, you will expand your knowledge and understanding by studying advanced modules covering pharmaceutical biotechnology, molecular biology, gene manipulation, bioinformatics and biochemical pharmacology as well as spending time in research laboratories to gain skills in current techniques.
