Master of Science in Pharmacology and Toxicology

at University of Petroleum and Energy Studies India

The demand for nutraceuticals and phytonutrients has increased over the past few years and they are being used by people for various therapeutic outcomes. This has resulted in a worldwide nutraceutical revolution. The nutraceutical revolution will lead us into a new era of medicine and health, in which the food industry will become a research, oriented one similar to the pharmaceutical industry.
Nutrition policy helps in paving way to achieve better health and nutrition status of the community. The program will enable students to help government agencies to carve nutrition related policies and programs. Food and nutrition related law, policies and act, can create a huge impact on the holistic development of the community. Therefore, in-depth understanding will not only foster public health, but will also lead to eradication of spread of non-communicable diseases.
Nutrition plays pivotal role in everyone’s life thus exhaustive knowledge would cater and meet the urgent requirement of society. This specialization will help students understand the basics and advancements in the field of nutraceutical and nutrition policy development for public health.

The specialization in marketing prepares the students on subjects like Social and Digital Media Marketing, Advertising and Sales Promotion etc. The emphasis is on developing critical as well as analytical thinking in the specialized area though case study, projects, workshops, masterclasses by industry experts, among other pedagogical tools.

In this program, a student learns about the basics food preservation and conservation. In this particular specialization, the Design of food process plant, Food plant location, Food plant layout, requirements like water supply, Electricity supply, clean environment and location, Contraction material used, Waste management, cleaning and sanitisation are main course content. The equipment used during food processing, packaging requirement, utensils, standards related to material used in construction of food processing equipment’s, standardisation of food process, arrangements of equipment’s in best possible way.  The food processing Industry visit carried out for practical knowledge.  Food Industry Trainings are also carried out. Scope and importance of food plant engineering, Processing methods and their requirements, Preservation by drying, Preservation by low temperature, heat treatments, and Food conversion operation. In this a student learns about various techniques and procedures involved in food packaging. This subject helps a student to understand the importance of processing of various kinds of food products. This course covers both practical and theoretical aspects of food industry.

B.Tech Electrical Engineering with specialisation in electric vehicle and grid management is designed to provide advanced knowledge in design, develop and application of electrical equipment such as motors, generators, transformers, batteries, switchgear and protection, analyze charging and grid management system in coordination with e-vehicles. It provides advanced skills on e-vehicular technology and its efficient application in grid management system.

B.Tech computer science with specialization in computational stability imparts knowledge on how to apply techniques from computer science and related disciplines to help manage the balance of environmental, economic and societal needs for sustainable development. In this course, students study recent computational approaches that have contributed to addressing sustainability topics related to biodiversity, climate, environment, urban design, transportation, buildings and others.

The course is a concoction of the study of commerce and law. By completing this integrated course, a student can learn about two different professional fields. The specialised law course, in its five-years duration, equips the students with the knowledge of both commerce and legislative regulations as a comprehensive concept.

This five-year undergraduate program is customized to give students comprehensive exposure to law, commerce, and tax. The course is delivered by a blend of full-time faculties, industry fellows, and workshops by taxation experts. The university also facilitates internships in consultancies and law firms, which not only expose students to industry experience and practical aspects of law but also expedites early placements.

The Master's Program in Automation and Robotics Engineering is an interdisciplinary programme composed of mechanical engineering, electronics engineering, electrical engineering, computer engineering, aerospace engineering and mechatronics engineering. Robotics is increasingly prominent in a variety of sectors (eg manufacturing, health and remote exploration of hostile environments such as space and the deep sea) and as autonomous and semi-autonomous systems that interact with people physically and socially. It covers important aspects of modern robotics such as autonomous systems, field robotics, artificial intelligence, Machine learning, computer vision, mobile robots, and Rehabilitation robots, embedded systems, modelling and control systems. The program engineers will develop an enhanced skill in the field of dynamics and control technology for complex systems and processes. Over the next decade, robotic assistance will become a reality in almost every field of work and most other aspects of human life. The advanced robots led to a substantial increase in productivity, decision making, increase the efficiency of the system. The program provides top-quality expertise and skills for successful professional careers in research, technology development and design. Hence this degree would help in generating trained and qualified manpower in this area.

In this specialisation, students learn about essential concepts such as data structures, algorithms, OOPS concepts using Java, databases, software engineering and design processes. Students will also obtain an in-depth knowledge of machine learning and artificial intelligence by implementing relevant real-world problems in a wide variety of application domains such as robotics, computer vision, natural language processing, etc. Students will be experienced in machine learning pipeline, data, models, algorithms, and empirics.

The course is dynamic in nature and gives students the time and space to explore different aspects of the digital media landscape. The thematic focus for study majorly revolves around Mass Media and its roots in social communication; Digital Marketing; Social Media; Digital Media Communication; PR and Advertising and Digital Media and Contemporary Relevance. Enrolled students will get equipped in skills related to advertising, public relations, digital storytelling, podcasting, etc.

Computational Mathematics involves mathematical research in areas of science and engineering where computing plays an essential role. Some topics of study include developing accurate and efficient numerical methods for solving physical or biological models, analysis of numerical approximations to differential and integral equations, developing computational tools to better understand data and structure, etc.
