Location of University College Cork
To date many Chemical & Process Engineering graduates do not have formal educational qualifications relating specifically to the pharmaceuctical industry.
This is because undergraduate Chemical Engineering courses which are generally broad in nature, do not cover issues of particular concern to the Pharmaceutical industry such as product containment, powder/particle technology, design of API and secondary production facilities, current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP), design of classified faciliteis, aseptic processing facility design, validation, etc.
This is to an even greater extent the case for graduates of other Engineering disciplines. The aim of this programme is to fill a need for the continuing professional development and postgraduate education of engineers working in the pharmaceutical industry in Ireland through the provision at UCC of an MEngSc in Pharmaceutical Engineering.
