Overview

Regulatory Science is the process by which patient/customer safety is maintained by synthesising knowledge from various disciplines in a structured and legal framework. It was established from the desire of governments to protect public health by controlling the safety and efficacy of products in areas including pharmaceuticals, biological and medical devices.

A shift towards focusing on the “Product Life Cycle” is internationally recognised as the way forward in conducting regulatory affairs. It is an all-inclusive approach which deals with the science of product development and manufacturing, through to product placement, marketing, distribution and sales activities.

The product life cycle approach will broaden the employment scope for the regulatory affairs professional as technology and innovation in the health products area continues to evolve and become more complex. In order to safe guard the public into the future, Regulatory Science equally needs to expand to meet these demands to ensure that quality assurance is maintained at every stage of the supply chain.

The Graduate Certificate has been designed by industry experts that will provide real life case studies from their experience to create a course that provides the relevant critical skills and knowledge they need to become regulatory affairs leaders ready for industry.

The Graduate Certificate is suitable for those people who wish to enter the health science - Biotechnology industry or, healthcare workers wanting to broaden, advance and future proof their career by becoming advocates for maintaining the effectiveness of the product life cycle.
