Pharmacology is the study of how drugs work in the body. This includes any type of chemical or biological agent that produces an effect on the body including medicines, poisons, and chemicals in the food we eat and drink. There are two aspects to pharmacology: the effect of the drug on the body, and the effect of the body on the drug. Following your study, there’s a wealth of employability opportunities, from research roles in pharmaceutical companies and academia to positions in clinical trials, regulatory affairs, and healthcare, offering diverse career paths in a rapidly evolving field.
