- 1
Carry out an inquiry-based research project related to the discovery, development, formulation, manufacture and clinical use of a drug.
- 2
Present the findings of the inquiry-based research project in a structured, logical and fluent manner through both written and oral modalities.
- 3
Work effectively in a team to plan, conduct and complete the inquiry-based project.
- 4
Demonstrate a well-developed knowledge of the broad aspects of pharmaceutical science, and therefore be able to delineate the impact that pharmaceutical science has on the drug discovery and development process.
