Explore the core principles of translational pharmacology, from drug target identification to clinical treatment evaluation.
This course is designed for you if you aspire to tackle real-world problems in academia or the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries — whether by developing new drugs and therapies, commercialising drug products or working in technical sales.
This multidisciplinary degree focuses on the growing field of translational medicine, preparing you to apply scientific knowledge to experimental study design, data analysis, and regulatory processes in drug development and disease treatment.
Gain contemporary theoretical knowledge and practical skills in pharmacology and drug discovery, covering content such as biotechnical innovations alongside classical clinical trial design and health-outcomes research.
Through hands-on experience, apply your scientific knowledge to experimental study design, management and data analysis, while also developing an understanding of legislation and other regulatory procedures related to disease treatment.
Core subject areas include cell and molecular biology, pharmacogenetics, protein biology, pharmacology, bioinformatics, numeracy, statistics, computing and a range of practical laboratory techniques.
Start dates:
