About this course
Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry, a chemistry degree centred on the study of molecular sciences and therapeutic drug design. Core topics include Statistics, Laboratory Techniques, and Research Methods. Students complete laboratory work in refurbished facilities and undertake a third-year research project. The first year covers core theory and practical skills through Foundations of Chemistry I, Foundations of Chemistry II, Mathematical and Analytical Methods in Chemistry I, and Practical Chemistry I. The second year introduces advanced chemical theories and therapeutic design via Advanced Chemistry I, Advanced Chemistry II, Medicinal Chemistry I, Medicinal Chemistry II, and Practical Chemistry II. The final year involves core studies in Advanced Practical Skills in Chemistry, Frontiers in Inorganic Chemistry, Frontiers in Organic Chemistry, Frontiers in Physical Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry III, and Synthetic Methods in Organic Chemistry. Optional modules allow specialisation in areas such as Advanced Characterisation Techniques, Principles, Techniques, and Applications of Electrochemistry, Simulation Methods in Chemistry, and Sustainable Chemistry.
