Pharmaceutical Formulation and Entrepreneurship MSc

About

About this degree

Students will learn how to develop and assess a new business concept, and how to raise finance for and market a business and its outputs. They will build their scientific skill set by exploring four scientific research areas in pharmaceutics, and will interact closely with and be mentored by those who have direct experience of initiating a start-up business.

Who this course is for

The programme is suitable for graduates with a first degree in a physical or life science, not necessarily pharmacy, who wish to launch a business in the pharmaceutical sector or join one of the many fast-growing biotech companies in the UK or worldwide. Those interested in joining major pharmaceutical companies will also benefit.
