This new programme, which is a synthesis of previous courses, has been developed after extensive consultation with industrial contacts. The new programme will run from October 2001 and will replace both our previous MSc courses. The Analytical Science Stream offers additional modules in molecular and atomic spectrometry, electrochemical and process analysis, environmental analysis and materials analysis, whereas the Pharmaceutical Science Stream offers modules in drug synthesis and design, pharmacokinetics, drug presentation and product evaluation.
Students can choose a combination of modules from either stream to fit with their career goals.
Other qualifications may be considered if the candidate has relevant industrial experience. The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council provides funds to support the programme, including the award of a number of student bursaries which contribute to fees, and in most cases, living expenses. The programme also benefits from industrial sponsorship which provides support in the form of equipment, materials, presenters and project placements. Alternatively, you may apply on-line by completing the electronic form. Much of the current research is supported by Research Councils, Government Departments, Charitable Institutions and Industrial Companies.
