理学士（荣誉）药理学和微生物学

该联合荣誉学位课程结合了药理学和微生物学的研究。药理学是研究药物和其他化学物质如何影响人体健康和疾病的研究。该领域探索新药和改良药的开发以及疾病的治疗。微生物学是对最小的生物（微生物或微生物）的研究，包括病毒，细菌，真菌，藻类和原生动物。微生物是人类疾病的主要原因，但它们也可用于从污染控制到重要治疗化合物生产的工业过程。选择特定学位组合的机会将使您能够进入专门的生物医学科学领域，例如神经科学，心血管研究，免疫药理学，工业免疫学，药物研究，生物化学，微生物学和细菌学。
Study with usStudy of the smallest living organisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoaUnderstandhow drugs and other chemicals affect the functions of the body and underpin the development of new or improved medicines and the treatment of diseaseOur courses are underpinned by our strong research base, links with industry, the NHS and international partnersWhy this coursePharmacology is the study of how drugs and other chemicals affect the body in health and disease. This area explores the development of new and improved medicines and the treatment of disease.Microbiology is the study of the smallest living organisms (micro-organisms or microbes) and includes viruses, bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoa. Microbes are a major cause of disease in humans but they can also be useful in industrial processes from pollution control to the production of important therapeutic compounds.The opportunity to choose specific degree combinations will allow you to go into specialist biomedical science areas such as neuroscience, cardiovascular research, immunopharmacology, industrial immunology, drug research, biochemistry, microbiology and bacteriology.AssessmentKnowledge and understanding are assessed by written examinations, essays, presentations and computer-aided learning (CAL) exercises and quizzes. These are all available on our virtual learning environment, Myplace.Competence is assessed through practical tests, practical write-ups, project reports and CAL exercises and quizzes.Communication skills are assessed through essays and oral presentations.Project work is assessed from project reports and oral presentations.There’s an individual research project in the final year of the course where you’ll demonstrate research skills, approaches and problem-solving.CareersMany of our graduates work in the development of drugs, food processing, protecting the environment, fighting disease or slowing the ageing process. They work in a variety of positions including:research in academiaNHS & private sector laboratory technicianclinical support workerWe also have graduates working in areas such as medical writing, clinical drug trials, medical sales, and production control.
