Pharmaceutical Engineering MSc

Our course  is informed by strong industry connections and cutting-edge research. An Industry Advisory Board, including representatives from leading pharmaceutical companies, ensures the course stays globally competitive and aligned with evolving sector needs.

You’ll explore the science and application of pharmaceutical products, oral drug delivery, medicine production and cutting-edge technologies used in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical processes. Unlike similar courses focusing solely on chemistry, this MSc emphasises chemical engineering fundamentals essential for real-world pharmaceutical manufacturing.

You’ll gain hands-on experience with high-value formulated products using our industrial-scale continuous powder processing plant (ConsiGm 25) in The Diamond building. This unique pilot plant experience will develop your understanding of different units used in pharmaceutical production.
