Master of Science - Pharmaceutical Science

This course will give students a detailed understanding of the practical and theoretical aspects of pharmaceutical science and help develop the skills needed for individual and collaborative research in areas such as drug development.

Pharmaceutical science is at the interface of biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, toxicology, analytical and medicinal chemistry, all of which will be studied in the degree course. Studies will take place in laboratories fitted with the latest analytical equipment. Within the research area of drug development, students will focus on both drug design, drug discovery and drug awareness as well as neuropharmacology and bioinformatics. Students will complete four taught modules and an independent research project. It will offer students the chance to study a core MSc alongside a specialisation within different areas of pharmaceutical sciences.

This course is designed and tailored to students' preferred specialism in either of the following: • Advanced pharmaceutical analysis and quality control • Clinical biochemistry and toxicology • Health and disease of physiological systems

Teaching will be based on lectures, seminars, workshops, independent web-based learning, and laboratory-based learning in UEL's state-of-the-art facilities. The broad field of learning also suits people who are simply interested in furthering their knowledge of the subject.
