MEngSc in Engineering - Pharmaceutical and Biopharmaceutical Engineering

University College Cork

The MEngSc in Pharmaceutical and Biopharmaceutical Engineering is a part-time course running for a minimum of 24 months (maximum 60 months) from the date of first registration for the programme. It is also offered as a full-time course running for 12 months from the date of first registration.This course is principally organised to accommodate part-time students who are working in industry by holding lectures and tutorials in full-day sessions every 3-4 weeks, mostly on a Saturday. Full-time students will follow the same lecturing regime but do the full complement of necessary modules and research activity within one year, whereas part-time students will do their modules and research typically over two years.This course provides the opportunity to gain a formal qualification in areas of particular relevance to the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry to upskill your competence for these important industrial sectors, including topics such as product containment, powder/particle technology, design of API and secondary production facilities, current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP), design of classified facilities, aseptic processing facility design, utilities, and services, data analysis and process validation.
