The main aim of this course is to review the science relating to
tabletted and encapsulated pharmaceutical products. The
course begins with a consideration of raw material testing and
the basic aspects of powder and granulation technology,
progresses through formulation of solid dosage forms to
manufacturing processes and equipment including scale-up
and technology transfer. The program concludes with key
aspects of the evaluation of finished products and the
regulatory constraints that must be considered at each stage.
Formal sessions of the course are supplemented with informal
discussion periods between lecturers and course participants
