Curriculum
As an MSc student you will complete four taught modules, including Research Skills, which will prepare you for the final task of putting together an independent research project.
Of the three other taught modules, Phyto-pharmaceutics is concerned with the study of phytotherapy – the use of extracts of natural origin as medicines or health-promoting agents – in modern medicine.
It also covers the chemistry of natural products and the quality control of raw material, formulation, processing and legislation in the manufacture of phyto-pharmaceutical products.
Pharmaceutical Analysis explores the methods used in the detection, extraction, isolation and quantitative/qualitative analysis of drugs and phytochemicals.
The third of the modules, Drug Design Phytopharm, looks at the process of drug design and the development of drug products from traditional medicine systems. It also covers associated biological screening techniques and toxicological factors related to the use of plant medicines.
The Pharmaceutical Analysis and Drug Design Phytopharm modules are studied jointly with students on the MSc Pharmaceutical Science course.
For the PG Diploma you would need to take the MSc course minus the final project. For the PG Certificate you need to complete two modules.
