Overview
The Pharmaceutical Technology and Quality Systems course at University College is not limited to aspiring QPs: it is designed to broaden your professional development and provide up-to-date assessments of the latest trends in the areas of pharmaceutical/biopharmaceutical development, manufacturing and quality. The individual modules provide knowledge and experience of benefit to all technical, quality, regulatory and managerial staff in the pharmaceutical industry.
Key facts
- In Part I, you will take taught modules to the value of 60 credits, run over a minimum of 18 months. The taught modules incorporate a combination of online module notes, recorded material, webinars, workshops, online assessments and end of year written exams. Students must also attend the two workshops on campus each year, involving lectures, practical sessions, tutorials and industrial site visits.
