Do you have a first year of a master's degree in chemistry or in physical chemistry or an equivalent? This course matches your profile and can allow you to fulfil your professional project.
Introduced by pharmacists, engineers and healthcare professionals, this Master's degree meets the current needs of these industries.

Objectives

The Master's degree gives an initial course or continuing education for future executives of pharmaceutical companies that are specialized in the sectors of healthcare products.

The priority lines of this master are to give a professional course in the sectors of:

  • Production (process engineering, galenics).
  • Control and quality (analytical development, control, regulations) of healthcare products.

This course is characterized by a novel teaching approach that:

  • Adds value to the acquisition of the initial curriculum linked to the pharmaceutical industry,
  • Invites teachers and industrialists of a national and international influence,
  • Takes into account the evolution of industrial techniques and aims at establishing marketing authorisations.

This Master's degree offers a specialization in the fields of development, production, drugs trials, marketing authorisations, registration files, especially through internships in highly qualified structures.

Skills

  • Developing and producing drugs.
  • Implementing Quality Assurance and Control procedures.
  • Controlling pharmaceutical raw materials and drugs. 

Admissions

Who is this course intended for?

This course is intended for:

  • pharmacists, interns in pharmacy

Work placement

The aim of the work placement is to achieve a professional project, both interdisciplinary and industrial. The search of the placement has to be done by the student, helped by the persons in charge. The trainee is under the responsibility of an industrial supervisor and is followed up by a teacher of the master's degree. The personal work developed by the trainee is carried out within industrial structures.

The placement lasts 5 months between February and August.

The personal work is assessed thanks to the placement report, the synthetic presentation and the supervisor's evaluation.

Prospects

The graduates are prepared to enter the vast field of the health industry, including pharmaceutical, specialty chemistry, veterinary, cosmetics, dietetics, ... industries.
This course is particularly attractive for students wishing to specialise in sectors linked to production and to quality in the Health industry.

Activity sectors

  • Pilot formulation and production of shapes for the pharmacy and cosmetics.
  • research and development in production
  • development of new processes (engineering)
  • control of pharmaceutical raw materials
