Program Description

This is an interdisciplinary program designed for graduates with backgrounds in either Pharmacology or Biotechnology who wish to obtain advanced training in both areas in order to gain the expertise necessary for the development and use of the new generation of biopharmaceuticals which have been developed by or result from the application of molecular biology, and recent developments in genomics and proteomics.

The program is open to graduates with a four-year degree in a related discipline or who have, in the opinion of the Faculty Postgraduate Coursework Committee, acquired equivalent qualifications or experience. Prior study of Biochemistry is required.

The program teaches the scientific bases underscoring the development of recombinant biopharmaceuticals, combined with aspects of clinical trials, regulatory considerations, patent issues and licensing. Content is incorporated in courses that can be delivered either in distance* or on-campus mode. The courses are comprised of written text containing program materials, demonstrations and self-testing exercises. For distance students, one day of face-to-face teaching is provided per course. In addition, there is access to the course coordinators by phone, email and teleconferencing facilities and tutorials for on campus students.

*Note: Distance education mode is restricted to students residing in Australia.
