This programme teaches advanced experimental approaches to dissecting the mechanisms of drug action (pharmacology), a science that has seen innovative theoretical and technical development at UCL for over a century. The programme focuses on teaching theory and developing experimental skills in classical and modern pharmacological techniques. In addition, the programme will help develop skills for literature search-based data analysis and effective verbal and written communication of science. The programme is jointly taught by the Research Department of Pharmacology at the School of Pharmacy, and the Research Department of Neuroscience, Physiology & Pharmacology in the Division of Biosciences. Both departments are historically and currently internationally leading in this field, and, together, they provide cutting-edge education in theory, research practice and innovation in pharmacology.
