About this course

Master in Science in Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery, a chemistry degree centred on the pharmaceutical sector and healthcare applications. Core topics include Research Methods. The fourth year concludes with a major 4P1 Masters Research Project. The first year covers core principles through Discover: Themes in Chemistry, General Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry I, Organic Chemistry I, Physical Chemistry I, and Practical Chemistry I. The second year progresses with Inorganic Chemistry II, Organic Chemistry II, Physical Chemistry II, Practical Chemistry II, Structural Analysis, and Chemistry Options. The third year builds advanced knowledge via Molecules and Materials, Properties of Matter, Structure, Strategy and Spectroscopy, Synthesis and Reactivity, Year 3 Research Methodology I, and Year 3 Research Methodology II. Finally, the fourth year involves Advanced Chemical Topics I, Advanced Chemical Topics II, and the 4P1 Masters Research Project.
