About this course
BSc/MSci in Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry, a chemistry degree centred on the study of medicinal chemistry and pharmacology relevant to research with biologically active compounds. Students benefit from lectures on industrial medicinal chemistry delivered by research workers from a pharmaceutical company. The first year covers foundational concepts through Chemistry 1. The second year continues with Chemistry 2X and Chemistry 2Y. Later stages include advanced study in Organic Chemistry 3, Inorganic Chemistry 3, Physical Chemistry 3, and Medicinal Chemistry 4H. Students can also undertake a work placement year and complete practical research through the Chemistry Project 4H module.
