Course summary
As a researcher in the School of Pharmacy, students have the opportunity to liaise with leaders in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries and to develop strong national and international collaborations. High-profile studies are undertaken in areas including personalised care, solid-state drug development, biotherapeutics delivery, bioconjugation and nanomedicine. Research in the school is grouped around 2 distinct strands: pharmacy education and community engagement with prescribing, and physical pharmaceutics and drug delivery. Research follows specific thematic topics which link to the School’s areas of expertise and the specialisms of our academic staff. Students benefit from state-of-the-art laboratory space with the latest analytical equipment, training programmes to enhance their research skills and support from dedicated academic supervisors. All our research students are encouraged to submit papers to scientific journals, present their findings at conferences in the UK and overseas, and share knowledge with colleagues across the university.
