This master’s course provides the training and development necessary to meet demand for highly skilled scientists within the expanding and global bioscience sector. It can lead to a wide range of careers including academic, commercial, industrial and healthcare applications of pharmacology. The course has been designed to respond to the increasing demand for suitably trained professional pharmacologists, essential to speed up the critical task of translating basic laboratory medical research into commercially-ready medical biotechnology and drugs that can be used to diagnose and treat patients. As well as relevant biotechnical innovations associated with pharmacology and drug discovery, classical clinical trial design and health-outcomes research, the course also encompasses an emerging area of science that is known as Translational Medicine. On successful completion, you should be able to: critically analyse, evaluate and interpret knowledge and practice in pharmacology; collect, analyse and present data using appropriate methods; apply scientific methods to the critical analysis of literature, reflection, information searching, and research methodology in areas of pharmacology; and apply scientific/clinical methods to conducting and management of research.
