Beyond the core modules, you’ll explore two specialist areas in greater depth, choosing from topics including central nervous system disorders, anti-cancer personalised medicines and structural-based drug design.
Build your knowledge through lectures, tutorials, case studies and seminars, and spend a significant portion of your year applying your skills in lab work culminating in a lab-based dissertation project with an academic or industry partner.
Your in-depth expertise together with extensive practical experience will give you the foundation to contribute to potentially life-changing advances in pharmaceutical development.
The range of chemical and biological techniques and computational skills you’ll develop on this master’s will give you a solid foundation for working at all stages of drug development. You could build on this expertise through advanced PhD research, or work as a research assistant in institutes involved in drug discovery.
Along with practical expertise in all stages of the drug development pipeline, you’ll develop the critical thinking skills essential for work in academia or industry, and build your communication, presentation and report-writing capabilities.
You’ll have the skills to join research and development teams in pharmaceutical companies and clinical research organisations, or you could apply your expertise in regulatory bodies and government agencies.
