This one-year Pharmaceutics MSc will equip you with sought-after expertise in all the different stages of medicine design, so you can learn how to take promising new drug candidates and develop them into world-class medicines. You’ll learn about the full life cycle of medicine design, from formulation and manufacture to regulations and taking a new drug to market – and explore the latest biotechnologies being used to develop new medicines, including biologics and gene therapies. A wide range of optional modules means you can focus in on topics of interest in areas like nanomedicines, computational pharmaceutics and natural/cosmeceutical products – before completing a lab-based, independent research project. The course is taught by UCL’s world-renowned experts in pharmaceutical sciences and has been developed in direct response to the growing need for highly skilled formulation scientists. The mix of science and research skills you gain will position you well for securing jobs in the pharmaceutical industry or in cutting-edge drug development research. This master’s is for students who want to work in industrial drug development or go on to a PhD and research into the design of drug delivery systems.
