Course Overview

What is this course

The LICQual Level 6 Diploma in Advanced Drug Delivery Systems is a specialist qualification designed to develop advanced knowledge of how medicines are formulated, delivered, controlled, and evaluated to achieve appropriate therapeutic outcomes. It focuses on the scientific and technological principles behind modern drug delivery systems and provides learners with a structured understanding of how drug delivery can influence medicine performance, stability, safety, and patient use.

The qualification is awarded by LICQual and is positioned within its professional qualification framework. Its content is designed for UK and international learners seeking structured, advanced study in pharmaceutical and drug delivery concepts. The qualification should be distinguished from a university degree or a statutory professional licence; its regulatory or recognition status should be considered according to the specific awarding, centre approval, and jurisdictional requirements applicable to the learner.

Key learning areas include advanced drug delivery principles, pharmaceutical formulation, drug release mechanisms, controlled and targeted delivery, novel delivery technologies, delivery routes, formulation considerations, and factors affecting drug absorption and therapeutic performance. Learners can also develop an understanding of how scientific evidence, quality considerations, safety requirements, and technological developments influence the selection and evaluation of drug delivery approaches.

The qualification therefore provides a focused academic and professional framework for understanding contemporary drug delivery systems and their role in modern pharmaceutical development.
