Pharmacy Degrees Online

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.

Graduates find positions in retail, sales/marketing, product registration (regulatory affairs), research, development, formulation and in testing of new products. Some also pursue further study. Graduates have found work for companies such as Martindale Pharmaceuticals and the NHS as Pharmacy Technicians, House Advisors and Support Workers.
