Isn't Pharmacology a different degree from a Pharmacy degree?
Can be (and is) very confusing because some countries don't even give Pharmacology degrees, only Pharmacy ones. But afaik UK does both.
- _Wintermute 3y agoYes, I have a degree in pharmacology from a University which had both pharmacy and pharmacology courses. There were maybe 2 shared modules in the first year and that was the only similarities in the courses. Pharmacology trains you to be a research scientist, pharmacy trains you to be a clinician (or an over-qualified shop assistant as we joked).
- greenish_shores 3y agoYep, I know that. I'm pretty deeply interested in pharmacology (and related research), despite I've never earned a degree in either. And from all the contact I had with people holding either, the differences are striking, indeed.
