Program details

Overview

The programme trains students at the intersection of drug design, fundamental research into new drugs, the optimisation of existing drugs, and personalised medicine, against a backdrop in which many common diseases, including cancers, neurological conditions, cardiovascular disease and other autoimmune disorders, still lack effective treatment or remain incurable despite advances in drug research. Students choose from five specialisations to extend their scientific training and theoretical background, building toward a research career in drug discovery and development as well as a wider range of roles in science communication, education and elsewhere across the bio-pharmaceutical sector.
