What will I learn?

The Medical Affairs MSc course will give you the skills to operate as a bridge between the pharmaceutical industry and the wider medical community, including key thought leaders across a range of therapeutic specialisms, as well as with patient groups, regulatory authorities and beyond. The course builds from a sound appreciation of the clinical development of new medicines, to focus on understanding how to effectively link science and commercial activity, by providing scientific and commercial support for medicines. It is designed for scientists, physicians, pharmacists and allied health professionals. This is the world’s first MSc in Medical Affairs and still the only one on offer. This course is delivered in close partnership with the pharmaceutical industry. Many experts from pharma teach, run workshops, supervise dissertations and examine students. Pharma also employs most of our graduates.
