Course Description

This programme aims to raise to an advanced level the awareness, skills and knowledge of scientists working in the Pharmaceutical and Medical fields. The main goal is to prepare students for an academic or industrial career in the PharmaceuticsDrug Delivery arena ? an area in considerable demand in response to the continued increase in development of highly complex and sensitive drug molecules. The programme provides specialist training and practical experience of the design and development of effective drug delivery systems, as well as promoting directly applicable skills for career and professional development. Students will gain an overview of Drug Delivery and have hands-on experience of Pharmaceutical Formulation and Drug Delivery. This will enable them to communicate across disciplinary boundaries whilst having depth in their own area. The course is also an excellent foundation for studies at the PhD level. Modules The course is based around a core of compulsory modules and a research project that provide detailed study and practical experience in Drug Delivery and in the development of professional skills. These modules will consider the biology of disease states, designing drugs and delivery systems, research methods and exploiting your research. The supervised research project will last for approximately four months and be at the level similar to that expected for the first year of PhD studies. Examples include liposome-based drug delivery systems, strategies for enhancing drug solubility, and development of TB vaccines. Modules: ? Drug Discovery ? Chemotherapy & Selective Toxicity ? Drug Dosage Form & Design ? Principles of Product Analysis and Validation ? Drug Delivery and Targeting ? Research Methods 1: Professional Development ? Research Methods 2: Communication Skills ? Research Project
