Program Overview

??The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in drug discovery represents a transformative advancement in biomedical sciences. This field promises to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness of discovering new therapeutic agents. Pursuing this Master's in Drug Discovery with AI offers a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of this exciting convergence of disciplines. The University of Liverpool, renowned for its pioneering research, provides an ideal environment to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary for a successful career in this innovative domain.?

??The masters in Drug Discovery with AI course aims to provide students with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in the field of drug discovery and AI. The course will cover various aspects, including medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology, bioinformatics and the utility of artificial intelligence, and drug development. This will equip graduates for careers in pharmaceutical research and development, who wish to do this either through direct entry into industry or as a pathway to a PhD. The degree will culminate in a collaborative research project giving students a real taste of the multidisciplinary drug discovery process enabled by significant input from our industrial partners. This masters in Drug Discovery with AI is designed to provide a holistic and practical education that prepares students for a successful career in the dynamic field of drug discovery. You will be taught by two world leading departments, Pharmacology and Therapeutics and the department of Chemistry. Both departments are ranked top 40 in the world and have been recognized with the Queen’s Prize for their sector leading teaching and research. This programme will be taught through multiple delivery modes (lectures, tutorials, workshops, group work, practical work) with active learning being central to its delivery.?
