Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences
This hands-on project provides participants with an interactive introduction to Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmacy practice through a comprehensive tour of the School of Pharmacy. Students will explore a range of facilities and activities, from community and hospital pharmacy dispensing through to pharmaceutical formulation laboratories and analytical testing suites.
Participants will gain practical experience in the formulation and manufacture of pharmaceutical products such as creams, gels, capsules, or tablets, while learning about the science behind medicine design and delivery. They will also undertake analytical and quality control assessments of the products they prepare, using techniques employed in the pharmaceutical industry to evaluate product quality, stability, and performance.
The project is designed to provide insight into the diverse career pathways within Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, while giving students direct experience with the scientific, technical, and clinical aspects of medicine development and use
