Embark on the Biological Sciences (Physiology with Pharmacology) MSci at the University of Leicester, an advanced undergraduate degree designed for those fascinated by the intricate mechanisms of life and the therapeutic potential of drugs. You will explore how organisms function at molecular, cellular, and systemic levels, and critically, how physiological processes are altered in disease. This programme delves into the core principles of physiology and pharmacology, equipping you with a deep understanding of cellular communication, neuroscience, and cardiovascular science, essential for tackling challenges in medical, plant, and veterinary fields.
This full-time, on-campus four-year programme integrates foundational biological sciences with specialised modules in physiology and pharmacology. You will engage with core subjects like molecular and cellular pharmacology, and cellular physiology of the cardiovascular system, alongside a significant research project in your final year, honing your experimental design and analytical skills. Throughout your studies, you will develop crucial research methodologies and employability skills, preparing you for postgraduate research, such as a PhD, or diverse careers in the scientific sector, equipped with the advanced knowledge and practical experience valued by employers.
