2-Term First Year Pathway in Life and Medical Sciences - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Pharmacology

Program Description

HIC offers University First Year studies for candidates who do not meet the direct entry criteria or hold high school qualifications that are not recognised. Upon successful completion of the pathway programme students will progress onto the second year of their University of Hertfordshire progression degree.

The massive research expenditure of Britain’s pharmaceutical companies and the fierce competition in the field ensures a continual demand for well-trained pharmacology graduates. This degree covers all aspects of drugs and their uses as medicines. Students will learn how new drugs are discovered and tested and understand the reasons for their effectiveness in treating disease. They’ll also gain an appreciation of why new drugs are needed and how they can be developed. Hertfordshire's links with major pharmaceutical companies will provide cutting edge insight into the drug discovery process and give them the opportunity to gain valuable experience during their placement year. This degree is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology.
