Course programme
The modules for this course can be found in the latest programme specification.
We aim to train multidisciplinary researchers capable of working as independent investigators and/or academics across the public and private sectors. Each individual team member is encouraged to expand their horizons overarching various aspects of pharmaceutical sciences and pharmacy practice.
The Faculty of Life Sciences is the largest in the University with an active PGR community. The University strategy is implemented at Faculty level within an institutional PGR Framework and is in line with QAA/RCUK recommendations. Each PGR student is a member of Bradford School of Pharmacy affiliated to a one of our research groups. PGR students are allocated to the supervisory team comprising of the principal investigator of the project and the second supervisor.
Students are required to undertake training in scientific writing, producing a critical appraisal of research in their field within their first 6 months and additionally have access to Masters (level 7) modules to enhance skills relevant to their project such as for example: separation techniques (HPLC), spectroscopic methods (FTIR, RAMAN), structural crystallography and others. Throughout the course of study, students are responsible for developing a Personal Development Folder which incorporates monitoring and progression requirements as well as generic and specific training records.
Throughout the programme students have several opportunities to present their work to their peers within the faculty at regular research seminar series, and at a dedicated Symposium aligned with the Faculty Research Open Day.
