Overview

Pharmacology is a field that bridges the gap between pharmaceutical science and medicine. This field of study prepares students to understand the establishment of dose, dosage, efficacy, and safety of drugs, as well as their mechanisms and disposition. Pharmacology allows for extensive research into a variety of subdomains, including drug signaling and molecular mechanisms, clinical pharmacology and biopharmaceutics, and pre-clinical and clinical trials. This opens up chances for further academic advancement, including financed national-level research initiatives backed by government funding organisations.

The pharmaceutical industry, especially clinical research organisations offers a variety of career opportunities in different business verticals such as basic pharmacological research, pre-clinical toxicology, clinical pharmacology, quality assurance and compliance, medical/scientific writing, pharmacovigilance, marketing (scientific/product management) and many more.
