课程简介
药理学是对药物和药物如何在细胞和亚细胞水平上起作用以产生有用的,有时是有害的作用的研究。该学位旨在使人们对生物活性物质,尤其是用于治疗人类疾病的生物活性物质具有良好的机械理解。如此广泛的研究将为您提供对学术界和更广泛的行业有吸引力的技能,以从事生物医学研究和产品开发。您可以选择参加扩展的四年制课程,其中三年级是专业实习年(PPY)。我们的毕业生在完成课程后将拥有一系列机会。许多人在学术界或私营部门进行生物医学研究的进一步研究生培训,而另一些人则从事制药业或其他生物医学领域的职业。我们的主要目标是支持受过研
Pharmacology is the study of how drugs and medicines work at cellular and sub-cellular levels to produce useful and sometimes harmful effects. This degree aims to impart a sound mechanistic understanding of bioactive substances, particularly those used for the treatment of human diseases. Such extensive study will provide you with skills attractive to academia and wider industries for posts in biomedical research and product development. Our graduates have a range of opportunities on completion of the course. Many undertake further postgraduate training for biomedical research in academia or the private sector, while others pursue careers in the pharmaceutical industry or other biomedical fields. Our main aim is to support the development of research-trained scientists. However, appropriately qualified students may also be eligible to enter the Cardiff University four-year Graduate Entry Medicine (GEM) programme after completing this BSc degree. It is not possible to transfer to Medicine without finishing this BSc course.Distinctive features: This course is taught by experts in medicine and biomedical sciences. As such it provides an in-depth and varied pharmacological education encompassing both basic science principles and clinically relevant applications of knowledgeYou will gain practical research experience learning from world leading scientists, You will lead a laboratory based, library-based or data analysis project, You will achieve a detailed understanding of current scientific issues and concepts relating to the science of pharmacology, You will be able to design research and present and illustrate the results of your work both orally and in writingThis is a degree course that will enhance your scientific career. Professional Placement Year (PPY): Having the choice of a PPY will give you significant insight into career opportunities available to you by pursuing this degree programme. Such placements will be undertaken in industry (pharmaceutical or related), governmentuniversity research laboratories or some similarly suitable organisations. The PPY will provide you with invaluable “employability skills” that will bolster future career prospects and make you very competitive in the toughest of work markets. Spending 9-12 months in an academic or industrial environment will provide you with an understanding of how data is analysed, new information acquired in research setting and, depending on location, how a business organisation is run. Career prospects: This course can lead to careers in medical and scientific research, pharmaceutical and biological industries. A large proportion of BSc Medical Pharmacology students continue their study by pursuing a PhD or master’s degree programme. Many go on to study for a degree in Medicine. Alternatively, some students use the BSc degree as a well-recognised vehicle to enter careers in dentistry, veterinary science, NHS laboratories, scientific information, medical writing, patent law, graduate entry managerial programmes, teaching and various non-science disciplines. Graduate careers: Pharmaceutical Researcher, Pharmaceutical Development. Placements: Once on the B210 Medical Pharmacology course, you will have the option of applying to join the extended four-year programme where Year 3 is a Professional Placement Year (PPY). Students undertaking a PPY will be taught jointly with those on the three-year course, and the content of the two programmes will be identical, apart from the year spent in employment. You will begin selecting and arranging your placement at the start of Year 2, with the full support of the Medical Pharmacology PPY Coordinator. It should be emphasised that the onus is on each individual student to identify their own placement position. The Medical School will not normally supply such opportunities.
