Education and training
Academics in the Institute of Pharmaceutical Science (IPS) provide substantial teaching in a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate taught courses delivered within the following Teaching Departments:
IPS is recognised by both the private and public sector for the quality of its graduates, as well as its commitment to in-vivo sciences and the suite of specialist courses at MSc level, including the long established MSc programmes in Pharmaceutical Analysis and Quality Control, Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmaceuticals.
A number of other new courses in Pharmaceutical Medicine, some of which have been approved by the Royal College of Physicians, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine, have recently been introduced. These can be taken as standalone short courses, as part of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine’s ‘Pharmaceutical Medicine Speciality Training’ or ‘Certificate/Diploma in Human Pharmacology’, or as part of a King’s College London postgraduate award in Drug Development Science, Clinical Pharmacology or Translational Medicine.
IPS has recently become the only London-based member of the Europe-wide PharmaTrain to deliver excellence in training in Drug Development Science across Europe – so positioning IPS at King’s College London as a leading player in this area. In addition there is a range of well-established certificate and diploma programmes for pharmacists working in primary care, including an independent prescribing course. Academics within IPS also supervise a wide range of PhD projects.
