Explore the intricate functions of living systems with the Biological Sciences (Physiology with Pharmacology) BSc at the University of Leicester. This undergraduate degree is designed for aspiring scientists keen to understand how organisms maintain homeostasis, adapt to environmental changes, and how disruptions at the molecular or cellular level can lead to disease. You will delve into the core principles of physiology and pharmacology, examining everything from the ionic basis of cellular function to the complex integration of whole-body systems. This course provides a robust foundation for understanding disease mechanisms and the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
This full-time, four-year BSc, studied on campus, offers a comprehensive learning experience integrating theoretical knowledge with practical application. You will engage with core modules in physiology and pharmacology, alongside a wide array of optional subjects allowing you to specialise in areas such as exercise physiology, neurobiology, or molecular and cellular immunology. A distinctive feature of this programme is the integrated 'Year in Industry', providing invaluable real-world experience. You will graduate with advanced analytical skills and a deep understanding of biological mechanisms, preparing you for postgraduate study or careers in pharmaceutical research, biotechnology, and healthcare science.
