Some are aimed at general formulation - everything from paints to shampoos to pharmaceuticals:
- The University of Birmingham (U.K.)
- The University of Lille (France)
- The Nelson Mandella Metropolitan University (South Africa)
Some are aimed specifically at pharmaceuticals:
Due to the vast field of application of formulation science, it is possible to learn about formulation under a number of headings, such as: colloid science, physical chemistry, chemical engineering, galenic, Pharmaceutical formulation, quality control, analytical chemistry etc...
