BSc (Hons) Medicinal Chemistry
About
In our three-year medicinal chemistry degree programme, you will be introduced all aspects of chemistry that are important for medicine.
The course will equip students with the theoretical and practical skills in chemistry that are important for medicine. This includes: advanced methods for synthesis of small molecules; analytical techniques that are important for characterization of small molecule drugs (organic and inorganic), biomolecular targets, and drug-biomolecular interactions; chemical understanding of how and why the body modifies drug molecules; and engineering biomolecules for future therapeutic and diagnostic applications. In your final year, you’ll tailor your study to specialise in the areas that reflect your interests and career aspirations, and you’ll undertake an independent research project.
If you possess an inherent curiosity about how drugs are synthesized, how they interact with our body and how our body modified drug molecules, this course is an ideal choice. It will give you a real understanding of chemistry’s impact on every aspect of medicine and provides an opportunity to use your imagination for developing future therapeutics and diagnostics.
