    Course Summary

    Clinical Pharmacology looks at how drugs and other chemicals affect the human body and mind. Its study is critical to the ongoing ‘antibiotic arms race’ as well as to staying on top of the new diseases, illnesses and pathogens discovered every year.

    A BSc in Clinical Pharmacology from St George’s University London will show you how new drugs are developed. You’ll be able to follow the process from the identification of a potentially useful molecule through testing and eventual use in a clinical context.

    The skills you’ll gain could see you to a successful career in the pharmaceutical or biotech industry, but would be equally useful in a wide range of industrial, academic or life sciences careers. You’ll have the chance to explore all of these possibilities and more in a range of working placements and contact with industry professionals. You’ll also have the option of taking a training year with one of the university’s partner organisations.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
