Break into the pharmaceutical industry with a competitive edge to succeed in your career.
The award-winning Master of Pharmaceutical Industry Practice will equip you with industry-ready skills to support a career in the medicines and devices development sector.
You'll gain insight into contemporary industry practice, studying:
- ethics and governance
- regulatory, business and health economics
- drug design and formulation
- manufacturing and packaging
- clinical drug development, including safety (pharmacovigilance) and biometrics from preclinical (animal research) to post-registration.
As part of this 2-year full-time degree, you’ll have the option to apply for placement experience, research or coursework in your second year—depending on your progress in your first year and completion of career preparation interviews and workshops.
If you secure an industry placement, you’ll complete a minimum of 12 weeks of hands-on experience and gain insights into contemporary industry practice across areas such as drug discovery or clinical trials, medical and regulatory affairs, or pharmacovigilance.
You’ll be taught by leading educators, who were awarded the UQ Teaching and Learning Award for Programs that Value and Enhance Student Employability.
With the industry networking opportunities provided throughout the program, and unique placement and research opportunities or postgraduate coursework available, you’ll feel connected and ready to launch your career in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector.
