An Enquiry-Based Learning Approach to Drug Development and Design
In this enquiry-led exercise, groups of students will use data to select therapeutic targets and screening methods and will evaluate simulated results from screening experiments and clinical trials to identify drugs to bring to market. They will present their findings in a poster. Three suitable clinical targets will be identified and simulated datasets will be generated for the trial during semester 2.

Application of Chemical Knowledge to the Clinical Understanding of Medicines
The aim of this project is to encourage pharmacy students to take an integrated approach to their learning across the subject areas of this multi-disciplinary degree. The objectives are for groups of pharmacy students to select a therapeutic area and select four drugs, complete an information retrieval and processing exercise and apply knowledge of their chemical properties to appreciate their clinical effectiveness. The desired outcome is the development of generic skills (databases, IT, teamwork) and enthusiasm for self-learning which will support them through their degree and in a career committed to CPD.
