Transformative Technologies for Pharmaceutical Science University of Cambridge

Overview

The Transformative Technologies for Pharmaceutical Science from University of Cambridge students will undertake a 16-week cohort-based training programme based at the University of Oxford, including both technical and professional skills training (e.g. scientific writing, presentation skills, responsible research, and ethics). 

Key facts:

Students will then complete two 11-week rotation projects, one of which will be expanded to the doctoral project. All students will have a Cambridge supervisor and a GSK supervisor.

Students will be expected to submit their thesis at the end of the fourth year (full-time).

Core skills training in the TTPS programme include research software engineering, biological modelling, structure-based drug discovery, and image analysis.

All students will undertake a 3-month internship at GSK to gain work experience in a commercial context, with students encouraged to undertake these in groups to foster cohort cohesion.

Part-time study, whilst not the norm, will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
