BSc Medicinal Chemistry
Medicinal Chemistry is a forward-thinking degree course, considering the problems of the future, linking with industry and extending beyond the lab to cover areas such as business, marketing, and sustainability.
This three-year course provides a broad introduction to the main areas of chemistry in the first year then in subsequent years specialises in the chemistry and transferable skills needed in the pharmaceutical industry. Throughout your studies, you will spend many hours in our labs gaining hands-on experience in the techniques of drug synthesis and testing, and developing your research, mathematical and computational skills. You will also learn about leadership, management and project planning. In the final year, you will have the opportunity to specialise in an area that is interesting or important to you through an original project.
