University of East Anglia (UEA), BSc, Pharmacology and Drug Discovery

University of East Anglia (UEA)
 United Kingdom

Year 1

In the first year you will be given a foundation in biology; the chemistry of the life sciences; basic pharmacology, endocrinology, drug delivery and pharmacokinetics. These modules will lay the groundwork for understanding how drugs work, what they target, and how drugs are developed. In addition to building a foundation in the sciences, you will also take a course in business studies at the Norwich Business School that will provide you with an understanding of the world of management and the key concepts of management practice; vital tools to working in today’s corporate world.

Year 2

In the second year, you will begin to apply your knowledge to individual systems of the body.  These include neurology, immunology and the cardiovascular, renal and gastro-intestinal systems. You will also take modules covering cancer and infectious diseases. You will be taught how drugs are designed and synthesised, and their mechanism of action, while enhanced topics of pharmacology will be learned and applied in a state of the art teaching lab (to be opened in 2018/19). On top of this scientific learning, you will also develop your professional skills – from how to write an eye-catching cover letter and C.V. to interviewing techniques. External speakers from the industry will expose you to real-world challenges and topics in the pharmaceutical industry, helping you to thoroughly prepare for the job market.

Year 3

In the final year, you will exploit your knowledge from the first two years and perform a final year project in collaboration with a research active faculty member. This will include tackling major contemporary challenges in cancer, inflammation, age-related disorders, epigenetics, drug design, and drug delivery. In addition to the final research project, you will have the opportunity to select from further modules covering a broad range of biology, drug discovery and pharmacology topics. Furthermore, you will learn about the toxicology of drugs and how quality control of drugs is important during industrial production. Finally, in collaboration with the Norwich Business School, you will take a course in project management. This course will provide you with key management skills required for your future career, including the ability to create, plan, and deliver as part of a team that manages real projects for external sponsors.
