Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science (Formulation science)

Course Description

Formulation science will enable you to understand the principles of making finished products from a blend of different individual ingredients. Drawing on the pharmaceutical industry, you will learn to apply the same principles to industrially relevant problems in other areas of formulation science, such as consumer products and cosmetics. Formulation science is concerned with the invention, manufacture and testing of new products. You will explore the transformation of active drug compounds into finished products and learn about the elements of design and how to generate and evaluate new, effective, safe and stable pharmaceutical products and applications. Start of expanded content Students specialising in Formulation science will learn to design drug-delivery systems for all types of active molecules, and understand processes that contribute to the product life cycle. You will also possess analytical skills to assess the physical and chemical properties of active molecules and delivery systems, and have the expertise to evaluate the suitability of these formulations within the context of industrial and regulatory environments.
