Comments about BSc Pharmacology - At the institution - London - Greater London

• Objectives
  Pharmacology is the study of the interactions of chemical compounds with living systems, and focuses on drugs and their effects on molecular, biochemical and physiological processes, particularly in humans. This course shows you how molecules act on receptors to produce particular effects, informs you of how to analyse pharmacological data, and equips you for pharmacological research, drug development and screening, and biomedical laboratory analysis.
• Entry requirements
  You should have GCSE English and Maths at grade C or above (or equivalent). Successful applicants are normally expected to achieve one of the following: at least 160 points from two or more A-levels, including biology and either chemistry or science; or at least 160 points from two A-levels (Applied subjects) in science; or a BTEC ND in Science with MMP and at least four merits in the final year, excluding common skills. We also consider entry from appropriate Foundation and Access courses.
