CP4110Basic Pharmacology andPharmaceutical ChemistryProvides knowledge on the pharmaceuticalindustry and its products. It outlines thedrug development process from synthesis tomarket launch and describes common drugclasses and their applications in terms ofstructure- activity relationships, mechanismsof action, therapeutic uses and side effects.Students will gain theoretical and practicalskills on the synthesis and analysis of activepharmaceutical ingredients and finisheddosage forms.CP4111Basic NanotechnologyAims to provide a basic understanding ofnanotechnology, the current and potentialuses of nano materials and their impact inour society. Students will be introduced tothe different types of nanomaterials, theirpreparation, characterisation and applications.CP4116Applications in NanotechnologyGives an introduction to the widerange of uses of nanotechnology.Nanotechnology covers a wide scopefrom nanosynthesis, nanofabrication,nanotools to nanoapplications. Studentswill gain conceptual understanding ofnanotechnology-related topics, theirdevelopment, processing and applications invarious fields of technology.CP4117Physical ChemistryEnables students to understand theconcept of physical chemistry such asunits and dimensions, fundamentals ofgas and solution laws, thermodynamics,equilibrium and electrochemistry. Theirapplications in the chemical processindustries will also be discussed.CP4118Analytical ChemistryProvides students with the fundamentals ofAnalytical Chemistry such as mole concepts;concentration; titrametric analysis; redoxreactions; acids, bases, salt and buffer. It alsoprovides students with the basic knowledgeand skills to analyse a range of substancesquantitatively using simple volumetricanalytical procedure and performinggravimetric analysis.CP4119Inorganic ChemistryProvides the essential knowledge andunderstanding on fundamental principles inthe area of inorganic chemistry. It enablesstudents to understand the theoretical basisof physical and chemical properties of atomor compounds that will be necessary forother chemistry disciplines. Students will learnthe topics like Atomic structure, ChemicalPeriodicity, Chemical Bonding and theApplications of Transition Elements &their Complexes.CP4120Organic ChemistryExtends students’ appreciation of fundamentalprinciples of organic chemistry into areas ofmajor importance. It will provide studentswith a theoretical basis for some observedchemical behaviour. Students will be providedwith practical laboratory skills so that studentsare able to report results as well as interpretexperimental data clearly.CP4121Pharmaceutical MicrobiologyRefer to CP5057CP4122Basic BiochemistryRefer to CP2085CP4123Pharmaceutical ManufacturingRefer to CP5037CP4124cGMP & ValidationProvides students with the fundamentalprinciples and concepts of cGMP. It describesthe various guidelines and the requirementsfor the manufacture and testing of activepharmaceutical ingredients and medicinalproducts. This module also equips thestudents with knowledge on validation ofvarious processes and equipment used in acGMP manufacturing environment.CP4125Bioprocess Engineering PrinciplesRefer to CP5041CP4126Drug Discovery, Designand DevelopmentExplains the drug discovery, design anddevelopment process and how new chemicalentities are identified and developed intocommercial drugs Students will be given casestudies and learn to evaluate the viability ofdrugs from the chemical, pharmaceutical andlegal approach.CP4127Organic Chemistry -Reaction MechanismProvides students with the fundamentals oforganic synthesis and reaction mechanisms.Topics include stereochemistry, chemicalkinetics, substitution, addition andelimination reactions.CP4128Environmental StudiesProvides students with knowledge of theunderlying principles and key concepts ofenvironment science and how these can beapplied to the resolution of contemporaryissues on global warming, climate change,environmental degradation, transboundarypollution, species extinction, soilremediation, etc. Also included are topicson occupational safety and health at theworkplace and the applicable segments ofthe Workplace Safety and Health Act 2006.Practical classes will impart to studentshands-on laboratory skills and experiencerelating to air and water pollution whileindividual case studies assignment willdevelop students’ awareness and globalperspective of the current developments inenvironmental science and management.CP4129Environmental Systemsand ManagementProvides students with practical andtheoretical knowledge on environmentaltechnology. Creates awareness ofenvironmental protection and pollution control.Students learn to think independently, solveproblems either individually or as a team andto communicate effectively.CP4131Bioinorganic and MedicinalChemistryAims to provide students with a holistic viewso that they will be able to relate fundamentalconcepts in biochemistry, coordinationchemistry and organic chemistry to thedifferent aspects of medicinal chemistry. Theywill also explore the importance of SAR/QSARstudies in drug design and the use of naturalproducts as a source of drugs.CP4132NanotechnologyRefer to CP8013CP4133Fragrance and Flavour ChemistryRefer to CP4514CP4134Food ChemstryRefer to CP6004CP4501Inorganic ChemistryRefer to CP4119Synopses 273
