Overview

The Experimental Pharmacology and Therapeutics programme focuses on teaching theory and developing experimental skills in classical and modern pharmacological techniques. In addition, the programme will help develop skills for literature search-based data analysis and effective verbal and written communication of science.

What this course will give you

The programme is jointly taught by the Research Department of Pharmacology at the School of Pharmacy, and the Research Department of Neuroscience, Physiology & Pharmacology in the Division of Biosciences. Both departments are historically and currently internationally leading in this field, and, together, they provide cutting-edge education in theory, research practice and innovation in pharmacology.

The programme from University College London (UCL) is designed to impart extensive experimental expertise applied to drug development and subsequent therapeutics. The combination of traditional and experimental approaches in pharmacology, coupled with current innovation in therapeutics and drug discovery, fosters a unique set of skills which will enable the graduates of the programme to engage in various aspects of pharmaceutical research globally.

Networking

Students on this course become full members of one of the academic research groups and build networks within the School of Pharmacy with other Masters students (MRes, MSc and MPharm) as well as Postdoctoral students and academic staff members.
