Pharmacology & Molecular Genetics

Currently, students study the following core modules. If there are optional modules available the current choices are also shown. King's reviews its optional modules on a regular basis, in order to continue to offer innovative and exciting programmes and this list is therefore subject to change. Please check here for updates, or contact the School/Departments for further advice.

In common with all of the BSc programmes in the School of Biomedical Sciences, students take compulsory modules in the biomedical science disciplines.

Modules cover biochemistry, genetics, cell biology, physiology, pharmacology, cell and tissue structure and function, statistics and issues related to the practice of science, including ethics and communication.

Students take core courses including modules in the subjects outlined, plus a choice from the options listed.

Drug Discovery & Development
Drugs & Disease B
Gene Cloning & Expression
Human & Molecular Genetics A

Animal Models of Disease & Injury
Cell Biology A/B
Cell Biology A
The Immune System in Health & Disease
