Pharmaceutical Analysis with Management Studies – (M.Sc.)

If you would like to acquire an in-depth understanding of the theory of analytical techniques and how to apply them to complex industrial problems in the pharmaceutical industry, but would also like to gain a knowledge of management issues, this course is ideal. You will study selected topics in pharmaceutical analysis combined with the fundamentals of management theory, setting your scientific knowledge in a vocational context.

This combination is particularly useful if you are seeking to gain a management position within the pharmaceutical and allied industries. If you are unable to commit to the full masters programme, intermediate qualifications (PgCert/PgDip) are available.

What will you study?

You will gain the key skills required in the specialised area of pharmaceutical analysis, including good measurement and scientific practice, evaluation interpretation of data and other professional and organisational skills. In addition to studying core analytical techniques and their applications in the pharmaceutical industry, you will also be introduced to various pharmaceutical technologies, for example, formulations and topics such as clinical pharmacokinetics.

To put your studies into context, you will be offered a placement within industry or the University's laboratories where you will carry out your independent research project. The management studies modules give you an insight into how the business world operates and will introduce you to marketing concepts and people management skills.
