The course aims to develop an understanding of pharmacological targeting and molecular toxicology at an advanced level. The learning outcomes are:
| Study Type | Undergraduate | Level | 4 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Term | First Term | Credit Points | 15 credits (7.5 ECTS credits) |
| Campus | Aberdeen | Sustained Study | No |
| Co-ordinators |

The course extends your previous knowledge in the area of drug mode of action, molecular targets and toxicology. The process of drug development will be examined from the importance of understanding the design and metabolic profile of drugs and their transport to covering molecular aspects of pre-clinical toxicology. This course provides focus on hot topics in pharmacology and toxicology, using specific examples from research at the University of Aberdeen and thus opens up new opportunities for employability in academia and the pharmaceutical industry.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
