Pharmacology BSc

Pharmacology is the science of medicines and other drugs, and how they interact with the body. It is an essential arm of most medical disciplines as it covers all aspects of health and disease. By studying pharmacology, knowledge of physiological processes is directed into developing drugs to target disorders of the human body caused by bacteria and viruses or even man-made mutagenic chemicals. Pharmacology is commonly confused with pharmacy. Pharmacy is a completely separate profession, mainly concerned with the preparation and dispensing of drugs. You should study pharmacology because it offers you the chance to understand how we discover new ways to treat illness. You will have the opportunity to ask questions such as can we find a simple and effective drug to stop obesity and how can we understand the human brain and produce drugs that cure mental illness
