Exploring a Degree in Pharmacy or Pharmacology
Are you interested in contributing to the fight against diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s, or AIDS? If so, pursuing a degree in pharmacy or pharmacology may be a fitting path for you.
Pharmacy programs provide comprehensive instruction on pharmaceuticals, including their uses, management, and distribution. You can expect to learn about drug composition and origins, medication preparation, proper dispensing, and good pharmacy practices. Staying current on new drug developments is also crucial.
In contrast, pharmacology programs predominantly focus on the delivery and effects of medicinal drugs. You will delve deeply into cells, tissues, and organic chemistry, and develop a solid base of knowledge on biological control mechanisms and physiology. Assessing infection rates, as well as evaluating the efficacy of symptom-combating drugs will also be key.
Expect your studies to consume much of your time, with 9am-5pm daily schedules in lectures, seminars, laboratories, and medical sites. Following graduation, you will have a vast store of knowledge and will be poised to engage in your pre-registration year, a requisite for becoming a professional pharmacist. Additionally, you will need to undertake an independent research project in your final year.
Admission to these programs are competitive and have prerequisites that might include chemistry, possibly biology or another science subject, or mathematics.
Graduates can anticipate a low unemployment rate, and most will find employment in NHS hospitals or in a local chemist. Others may opt for careers in industry, conducting research, teaching, or forensic science. Job stability and marketability are tremendous benefits; professions in these fields can be found anywhere in the world.
