Pharmaceutical Medicine and Drug Development Program

The discovery, development and marketing of pharmaceuticals have become highly organised interdisciplinary team activities. Members of such teams need to be literate in all aspects of drug development ranging from procedures for identifying lead compounds through the full development, registration, and marketing of the product.

The aim of the UNSW Postgraduate Studies Program in Drug Development is to enable people working in the field of developing and marketing pharmaceutical substances to obtain such literacy by providing core and elective materials in a mainly distance-learning format. Since interchange of ideas is an essential part of any educational activity, the course includes group discussions where students and tutors come together for tutorials and workshops to develop practice skills, and generally to interchange ideas.
