Summary
Learn how to develop treatments for some of the world’s most challenging diseases of our time. You will develop key aspects of the drug discovery journey, from initial concept through to clinical treatment.
Spend your second year training with our pharmaceutical industrial partners such as Sygnature Discovery Ltd based in Nottingham or national partner GlaxoSmithKline. This provides a unique opportunity to gain work-place experiences such as transferable leadership skills.
Your research portfolio forms part of your compulsory second year training. It's designed around the Registered Scientist (RSci) qualification. This gives you the opportunity to independently submit your portfolio towards the application.
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 funding
-
core practical skills in key areas that underpin drug discovery, such as synthesis of drugs, and in vitro and in vivo analysis
You will benefit from a range of teaching approaches and methods from experts collaborating with, or working in, the pharmaceutical industry.
Dedicated support A dedicated supervisor will support you during your research project. You will work alongside our researchers who are transforming lives and improving societies. Our small group learning environment can help you settle in quickly and form a lasting network of connections.
