In this program, you will learn and acquire specialized knowledge and practical skills required to function as a Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs professional in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical devices, food, cosmetics, natural product, nutraceutical and other life-science industries. Pharmaceutical Regulatory Affairs professionals responsible for developing, compiling, and filing documentation required to support the licensing and approval of pharmaceutical drugs.

The program entails an intensive series of learning modules developed to enable a practical understanding of the regulatory approval and communication processes involving pharmaceutical and biotechnology drugs as well as natural health products and medical devices.

You will acquire knowledge of international health care system, health care legislation, procedures and practices for regulating the development, manufacture, quality assurance and marketing of health care products.
A unique and highly successful aspect of our program is our hands-on approach provides the opportunity for students to apply and integrate their knowledge in a "real-world" work setting under TIPT's IPE system. You will receive practical experience with actual submissions that have been approved by regulatory authorities. Throughout the program, various practical projects expose the student to pharmaceutical industry submissions and lets students apply their skills and knowledge in a real-world work setting. |
