MSc Pharmaceutical Formulation and Business Strategy

... United Kingdom
... University of Huddersfield

Course Overview

This course will help you to understand the scientific principles of drug delivery and be able to design novel formulations to address current market needs and business strategies. After completion of the course, you will have the skills to start up new businesses in pharmaceutical formulation or join the formulation development team in the pharmaceutical industry. The aim of this module is to provide an in-depth appreciation of all the stages from new drug identification to bringing a drug to the market and beyond, with an emphasis on biotechnology-based products. It is divided into two integrated streams, the first being drug design. You will gain a critical appreciation of drug design and methods of discovery. Drug development will include pre-clinical, clinical, and post-marketing surveillance aspects. The incorporation of advanced drug delivery strategies into current practice and future directions will be covered in detail. You will be expected to integrate and apply your knowledge and skills in the development of your own formulation supported by representatives from the pharmaceutical industry and should be able to test the quality and performance of developed formulations in the laboratory.
