Explore the intricate functions and mechanisms of living systems with the Biological Sciences (Physiology with Pharmacology) BSc at the University of Leicester. This undergraduate degree is designed for those fascinated by how organisms maintain health, adapt to environmental changes, and how disruptions at the molecular level can lead to disease. You will delve into the complexities of physiology, from ionic interactions to the integration of whole-body systems, and gain a deep understanding of pharmacology, exploring how external molecules influence biological behaviour and therapeutic outcomes. This course provides a robust foundation for understanding disease treatment and the future of scientific innovation.
This full-time, on-campus BSc is studied over three years, offering a structured yet flexible learning experience. You will engage with core modules in physiology, pharmacology, and research, alongside a diverse range of option modules allowing you to specialise in areas such as exercise physiology, molecular cell biology, or neurobiology. The programme culminates in a significant final-year research project, where you will apply your knowledge to a real-world scientific challenge. You will graduate with a comprehensive understanding of biological sciences and the practical skills to pursue careers in research, healthcare, and the pharmaceutical industry.
