Msc Drug Discovery with Industrial Training

Learn how to identify and develop targeted treatments for some of the world’s most challenging diseases. You will learn about key parts of the drug discovery journey: from target identification, through drug synthesis and biological evaluation, all the way to considering intellectual property and clinical treatment.This a two year version of the standard MSc in which your autumn and spring semesters will be identical to the one-year Drug Discovery MSc.However, you will spend your second year training with our pharmaceutical industrial partners such as Sygnature Discovery (based in Nottingham) or national partner GlaxoSmithKline.

Research from both schools is transforming the lives of millions of people across the globe.You will establish practical and professional skills from both the School of Pharmacy and the School of Life Sciences. You'll learn:to communicate complex ideas through a variety of formats, such as a simulated pitch to drug discovery investors for fundingcore practical skills in key areas that underpin drug discovery, such as synthesis of drugs, and in vitro and in vivo analysisYou will benefit from a range of teaching approaches from experts collaborating with the pharmaceutical industry through our links with local and global pharmaceutical organisations, including Sygnature Discovery, Excellerate Bioscience and GlaxoSmithKline.Listen to our masters drug discovery alumna, Rhianna explain why she chose this course and how the small group learning helped her reinforce her studies.
