I applied to Brunel but this was for a different course, was thinking of UCL maybe for the drug development course but I’m not too sure about that one!

I saw the UCL one too, but I quite liked the modules at QM and the fact that there is no exam- all CW base. Plus I've been there for 3-years already and love the environment and the campus haha!

Hey Guys! Yes I did end up studying this course at QUML. It was okay - we only went into uni 3 days a month and then the rest of the time we spent working on assignments. This course is very flexible for anyone who has full time jobs. And for my thesis, we got the opportunity to choose our topic. I enjoyed the thesis writing and the flexibility of going into uni. Overall, it’s a good course and would recommend. However if you want more uni life experience then this may not fulfill that goal. Hope this helps! :smile:

Thank you sooo much for your response 😁 I also wanted to ask whether for the final dissertation we get an opportunity to do lab work? Is there a module for doing practical lab stuff?

There are no practical work. It’s a 20K word thesis and you get the option to choose the topic of interest but it needs to be related to drug development.

Hi, I’m thinking of applying to this course! You mentioned you only went in 3 days a month, were you doing the full time course?

Is this course very chemistry based? Will I have to do lots of chemistry theory and apply knowledge or is it more about the overall drug development process?
