Pharmacology work experience

I want to join the pharmacology bsc course and I was wondering what work experience you have done. I would really appreciate some advice

tyyy
You don't need work experience for pharmacology which is a science degree - you just need to do well academically and ideally do wider reading in your subject area.

You may need work experience for pharmacy which is a healthcare professions degree - the above has useful advice for this.

Okay thanks for the reply :smile:
So what kind of articles, books, e.t.c would I have to look at?

WWhatever specific things interest you! They aren't looking for you to have read anything specifically, they just want to see that you have explored the subject in the context of your own interests :smile:

When I was considering pharmacology, I did work experience in a pharmacy mainly just to rule that subject out as a potential option.
When students apply to us, very few have actual experience of pharmacology but some have done moocs in related subjects. Something like that is a really good idea, not to get you a place on a course but to make sure you're going to enjoy the subject
