Overview
Innovative pharmaceutical processing technologies are becoming highly important. This exciting, brand-new interdisciplinary MSc has been developed taking into consideration the requirements of the growing global pharmaceutical industry and the strong infrastructure and expertise available across the School of Life Sciences and the School of Engineering Design and Technology.
The programme is designed to enable you to develop a comprehensive understanding and knowledge in the area of pharmaceutical formulation development and its underpinning science and processing technologies. Particularly notable features include theoretical and practical aspects of advanced analytical methods, Process Analytical Technology (PAT), and Quality by Design (QbD).
It will also facilitate the development of professional skills such as good laboratory practice and transferable skills. Students will receive hands-on experience using technologies such as supercritical fluid processing, hot melt extrusion, nano-milling and characterisation techniques such as X-ray diffractometry, Scanning Electron Microscopy, NIR or NMR and Raman Spectrometry and online rheology.
Overall, this programme will widen your thinking horizons and improve your professional abilities.
