The course blends clinical and fundamental sciences with an innovative intergrated approach.
Our teaching staff are highly respected leading experts in the field of Clinical Pharmacology, all of whom are active research scientists and frontline clinicans who maintain linkgs with industry.
Designed in colloabration with industry, our course prepars students for employment from the outset with a focus on developing core skills in leadership, organisation, communication, teamwork, academic intergrity and more. Students relate learning to real-life through case studies and practical activities, including weekly scenario-based learning sessions, clinical skills or laboratoy sessions, projects and practical data analysis.
Every student spends six weeks on industry-related work experienc in Year 2. this is in large part thanks to our excellent professional links with the British Pharmacological Society (BPS), regulatrory bodies, contact research organisiations and major Pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical companies, such as AstraZeneca, Takeda, Niche Pharmaceuticals, Richmond Pharmacology, and Fortrea Clinical Trials. In addition, students undertake an extensive lab-based or clinically forcused research project for six weeks.
