This is a core module for MSci Pharmacology and Drug Discovery (Level 7) students, built around the School of Biological Sciences (SoBS) expertise in Pharmacology and Drug Discovery, and in the key processes framing the design and development of small molecule drugs, biopharmaceuticals and biologics. This module is 100% research-based, leveraging on core concepts and techniques developed at levels 4-6, iterated here to an advanced level through 8 work packages (5 unique to Advanced Pharmacology + 3 shared with BIOL6084 Advanced Neuroscience) reflecting the breadth and diversity of the research areas integral to the drug discovery process. These work packages will be led by academics around topics inherent to their current research interest within a subject-specific framework encompassing 1) preparatory work (independent study), 2) in-person workshops (2 hrs), 3) in-person assessment (2 hrs) or take-home, followed by a 4) feedback session (2 hrs). The structure of each package can range between a maximum of 6 contact hours (in-person seminars/workshops) down to 4 contact hours for a total of 10 hrs of work inclusive of independent study x8 packages. Assessment of each package is stand-alone for a total of 8 points of assessment for a double-semester 30 CATS module, which will be averaged to a total module mark.

Electrochemical technologies are transforming the way we generate, store and use energy. From high-efficiency solar cells and hydrogen production to batteries, supercapacitors and fuel cells, these technologies are central to the future of sustainable energy and electrification. This module develops a deeper understanding of the scientific principles that underpin modern electrochemical energy systems and their engineering applications.

You will explore the operation of advanced photovoltaic devices alongside the electrochemical processes that govern fuel cells, electrolysers, batteries and energy storage systems. Through the study of charge transport, reaction kinetics, electrochemistry and advanced materials, you will develop the analytical skills needed to understand how these technologies function and how their performance can be improved. The module also considers the practical challenges of designing efficient, reliable and cost-effective energy systems for real-world applications.
