Pharmacology Applicant Visit Days

We normally run Applicant Visit Days for our undergraduate degree offer holders between January and April. Find out more about why you should attend one.

After you receive an offer to study one of our undergraduate Pharmacology courses, we'll email you to invite you to an Applicant Visit Day.

We strongly recommend you attend an Applicant Visit Day to gain real insight into what it’s like to study here. We're offering a mix of virtual and on-campus Applicant Visit Days to give you the opportunity to join us, whether you can make it to campus or not.

If you're living outside of the UK or are unable to make one of our Applicant Visit Days and would like to arrange an individual visit, please contact the Department and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Find out more about your course and the university

The aim of the day is to help you in your decision making.

Our Applicant Visit Days provide more subject-focused information than University Open Days, giving you a real insight into what it's like to study Pharmacology here.

Whether you attend an Applicant Visit Day in person or virtually, you'll get the opportunity to listen to talks on the course and department. You’ll meet our academic staff and current students where you'll get the chance to ask them any questions you have and find out more about the work you’ll be doing if you study here.

Pharmacology sits within the Department of Life Sciences, a collaborative and cross-disciplinary department that is also home to our Pharmacy and Biosciences courses.

If you join us for an Applicant Visit Day in person, you'll also get to look around the department and see our teaching facilities.

'We have many opportunities for hands-on work. We normally have one lab session per week, starting with 3-hour labs in first year, and longer labs in second year. The longer sessions allow you to do more complex and interesting experiments.' — Ren Southall, Pharmacology MPharmacol.

What to expect from the Applicant Visit Day

Our Applicant Visit Days will give you all the information you need to decide if the University of Bath is for you!

What student life is really like

No one knows what it’s like to be a Pharmacology student at Bath better than our current students. They’ll help answer your questions and chat about their experiences.

Campus life isn't just about studying. There are many ways that you can make the most of your experience. If you're visiting Bath, you could visit our Sports Training Village (STV) and access the same facilities Olympic athletes use. You can also see our Students' Union, food outlets, campus pub and nightclub, and The Edge, where you can take dance, art and music classes.

'Growing up, I always wanted to attend a campus university like in the movies. I didn't have a chance to visit, so I was worried I'd be disappointed, but from the moment I arrived, I knew I'd made the right choice.' — Dorsa Abdolkarimi, Pharmacology BSc.

What our students think

The best people to tell you about Pharmacology at Bath are our students.

'To ease you into the course, the workload during the first semester is quite manageable. We have workshops for every unit, which are a great opportunity to work through your questions and prepare for exams.' — Woo-Taek Jang, Pharmacology BSc.

'Everyone is so so helpful. We're a relatively small department, so it's easy to ask questions during and after lectures.' — Jin He, Pharmacology MPharmacol.

'Each lecturer specialises in a specific topic, so they definitely know what they're talking about. They're all extremely passionate about what they do, and always open to questions.' — Yasmin Abed, Pharmacology BSc.

'As an international student, joining the Hellenic society gave me the chance to be part of a community that feels like home and meet people that I have lots in common with.' — Danai Dapola, Pharmacology MPharmacol.
