Modular Certificate in Supply and Distribution of Health Products
About This Course
The Diploma in Applied Science (Pharmaceutical Sciences) provides opportunities for participants to deepen their skills and knowledge needed for a career in the healthcare and biopharmaceutical manufacturing industries.
What You'll Learn
Students will explore key concepts such as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), Good Distribution Practices (GDP), and regulatory compliance in pharmaceutical supply chain management. They will gain insights into the processes of quality assurance, validation, storage, transportation, and disposal of health products, including specialized handling techniques such as cold chain management. The curriculum also covers facility design, resource management, documentation standards (ISO), and intellectual property rights, providing a holistic view of the pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution landscape.
The program integrates hands-on learning, offering Work-Study Programme (WSP) students with opportunities for on-the-job training with industry partners. Non-WSP students will engage in industry-relevant in-house projects focused on supply chain and distribution challenges. By the end of this modular certificate, students will have developed a strong foundation in supply chain management, regulatory compliance, and industry best practices, preparing them for careers in pharmaceutical logistics, quality assurance, regulatory affairs, and health product distribution.
