Course Summary

This programme provides a broad overview of the drug discovery and development process and is designed for graduates in science-based subjects as preparation for either PhD-level research or a career in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and CRO industries or with a government regulatory body. You will gain extensive knowledge about the process of drug discovery and development from the initial drug target validation stage through to regulatory approval of a new drug. You will gain hands-on experience of molecular modelling and computer-based drug design, and analytical and synthetic techniques and be exposed to modern platforms for drug discovery. Many lectures and seminars are from industry, academic and regulatory experts with potential for on-site visits and attendance at a one day conference. There is a choice of specialist modules and students can choose to carry out a research project within UCL or industry. Career opportunities after this degree are vast and there are organised career days and Alumni networking events to help students become more aware of possible careers.
