Lecture:
The lecture is designed to introduce the student to the basic concepts and processes involved in the design and manufacture of a drug formulation. It covers topics related to basic pharmaceutical chemistry as it relates to drug formulation, preformulation processes and the formulation of a specific drug formulation.
Laboratory:
In the laboratory, the student will prepare basic buffer solutions used in preformulation and drug formulation; basic galenical preparations such as pharmaceutical soap; and basic drug formulation formulations - liquid, semi-liquid and solid.

Contact hours: 65 (10h lecture, 30h laboratory, 25h consultations)
Time for individual work 15h
Time required to prepare for participation in the assessment process: 20h
Total student workload 100h.
