BSc Honours Pharmacology and Physiology

Hands-on learning forms the backbone of the course. Students spend significant time in modern laboratories, conducting experiments to understand physiological processes and drug interactions at both cellular and systemic levels. Advanced techniques such as electrophysiology, pharmacokinetics, molecular biology assays, and data analysis are integral parts of training. In addition to laboratory classes, students engage in independent research projects, often linked to current scientific questions in drug discovery, toxicology, or clinical physiology. The course also offers opportunities for placements and internships with pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, or research organizations, allowing students to gain real-world experience. Group projects, case studies, and problem-based learning encourage teamwork and critical thinking, while exposure to industry practices helps students prepare for diverse career pathways.

Graduates of this program are well-positioned to pursue careers in the pharmaceutical and biomedical industries. Career options include roles in clinical research, pharmacology labs, physiology-based healthcare research, toxicology, or regulatory affairs. Many graduates work in hospitals, biotech firms, or government health agencies, contributing to areas such as drug safety, diagnostics, and public health. The degree also provides a solid foundation for postgraduate study, including master’s or doctoral programs in pharmacology, physiology, neuroscience, or related medical sciences. For those interested in academic pathways, teaching and research roles are viable options. The combination of scientific expertise, analytical skills, and hands-on training ensures that graduates can adapt to the fast-evolving healthcare and life sciences sectors.
