Pharmacy:
A Pharmacy degree will train you to become a licensed pharmacist where you will be able to dispense medications, be the first port of call for minor ailments in the community, and will make you an expert in the safe and effective use of medicines to treat and manage diseases.
Pharmacology:
A Pharmacology (can be linked with Toxicology) degree will be more research focused and look at developing new, innovative medications to help tackle disease.
