Drug Design and Biomedical Science at Edinburgh Napier University at Sighthill

This course provides the knowledge, understanding and practical experience students will need to forge a rewarding career in research and development in the pharmaceutical, bioscience or healthcare sectors. Students will develop in-depth understanding of disease processes and molecular targets and an ability to apply this knowledge and theory to key aspects of drug design and biomedical science.

Equipped with the ability to follow developments in the field, students will learn to apply them to their work and make innovative contributions to the industry that will benefit others. Complex issues often arise in this field: they’ll acquire the skills necessary to make informed judgements and effectively communicate decisions.

There is an emphasis on developing practical laboratory skills with various opportunities for hands-on experience in a range of current techniques and practices. In the final trimester students will undertake an independent project within a vibrant biomedical or drug design research team, allowing them to apply and further develop their technical, research and professional skills. There may be the opportunity to conduct their research project externally in a relevant organisation or industry in the UK or overseas.

Students will also develop key skills including communication, problem solving, team work, project management, and leadership.
