Program Overview
The M. Pharma in Pharmaceutics program at Quantum University is meticulously curated to bridge the gap between academic understanding and industrial application. With a focus on formulation science, manufacturing technology, pharmacokinetics, and regulatory standards, students are groomed to innovate and improve drug therapies that meet patient-centric and market-driven demands.
This program is ideal for graduates who aspire to work in formulation R&D, production, regulatory affairs, academia, or to pursue entrepreneurial ventures in the pharmaceutical field. With hands-on training, strong faculty mentorship, and research opportunities, students are empowered to lead in a wide array of pharmaceutical domains.
Program Structure
Our two-year M. Pharm. in Pharmaceutics program at Quantum School of Health Sciences is designed to create formulation scientists and pharmaceutical industry leaders. Following PCI's ER 2016 guidelines, we've developed a 96-credit curriculum that blends cutting-edge science with real-world applications to prepare you for the dynamic world of drug development and manufacturing.
The program begins with strong foundational courses in Advanced Pharmaceutics, where you'll explore modern dosage form design and drug delivery systems. You'll dive deep into Pharmaceutical Technology, learning about tablet compression, capsule filling, and sterile product manufacturing - the very processes used in industry today. Our Biopharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics courses will help you understand how drug formulations behave in the human body, while Pharmaceutical Quality Assurance ensures you graduate with thorough knowledge of cGMP and regulatory compliance.
Practical learning forms the core of our approach. You'll spend significant time in our state-of-the-art pilot plant facility, equipped with tablet presses, capsule fillers, and coating machines identical to those in pharmaceutical factories. Our stability testing labs and instrumentation facilities allow hands-on experience with dissolution apparatus, and other quality control equipment essential for any pharmaceutics professional.
Teaching & Assessment
We believe in learning by doing. Our teaching methods combine traditional classroom instruction with extensive hands-on training to ensure you develop both theoretical knowledge and practical expertise. Experienced faculty - many with industry backgrounds - use interactive case studies drawn from real pharmaceutical challenges. You might troubleshoot a tablet dissolution problem one day, then design an extended-release formulation the next.
The program features regular workshops conducted by industry experts covering current topics like QbD (Quality by Design) and regulatory filing procedures. Our industrial visits to manufacturing plants and research facilities give you firsthand exposure to large-scale production environments. You'll also participate in seminars where you'll present and defend your formulation strategies, building both technical and communication skills valued by employers.
Our scholars leave not just with a degree, but with the confidence to handle real-world formulation challenges. Whether you aspire to work in pharmaceutical R&D, production, or regulatory affairs, this program equips you with both the scientific knowledge and hands-on skills to excel in the competitive world of pharmaceutics.
