Abstract
The Drug Safety Research Unit in the UK has recently launched new postgraduate certificate, diploma and masters courses in pharmacovigilance, in association with the University of Portsmouth. These courses have been developed to address the continuing demand for quality accredited education in pharmacovigilance and are aimed particularly at drug safety staff working in the pharmaceutical industry, regulatory bodies or academia. Flexibility is ensured by the availability of a wide choice of units, the use of online facilities for learning and assessment, and the possibility that previous relevant training or experience may be counted towards the awards.
