    Pharmacology subject descriptions

The subjects in Pharmacology introduce students to the unified study of the interaction of chemical agents and living matter. The emphasis is placed on the principles of drug action and on the reactions of living processes to drugs. Toxicology, a division of Pharmacology, is concerned with the adverse effects on life of therapeutic drugs and other chemicals. Toxicology is of increasing relevance to modern society. Pharmacology 534-201 provides an introduction to the important concepts of Pharmacology and Toxicology and may be taken to provide the basis for more advanced studies in Pharmacology and Toxicology at the 300-level or to supplement a major study in another discipline.

Pharmacology - all 300-level Pharmacology subjects

Pharmacology and other Biomedical subjects - at least 50 points in 300-level Pharmacology (normally 534-301 and 534-304), with selected subjects from the following: Anatomy and Cell Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Chemistry, Pathology, Physiology or Psychology.

 2. Biotechnology

Both second year 534-201 (Before 1998: 534-201 and 202) and third year subjects 534-301, 534-304 (Before 1998: 534-301, 534-302, 534-305, 534-306) in Pharmacology are approved subjects for inclusion in the Graduate Diploma in Biotechnology course (contact the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences for details).
