Specialisation Overview
Specialisations/Minors prepare students to develop broad knowledge about an additional discipline area or same discipline area that complements their study in an award course. Some Specialisations may assist students to progress into postgraduate studies, but have specific entry requirements.
This specialisation will allow students to pursue their interest in pharmacology. It is designed to introduce students from essential through advanced principles and concepts in pharmacology, and compares and contrasts drugs that act on the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, musculoskeletal, and endocrine systems, and the autonomic and central nervous systems.
Additional Course Expenses
Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks and other essential study materials. Students may require a laboratory coat.
