About this course
MChem (Hons) Chemistry, Biological and Medicinal Chemistry (with a year abroad) is a chemistry degree centred on the chemical approaches used to understand and target disease at a molecular level. Core topics include Research Methods. The course is accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry and includes a year spent studying at an international partner university. The first year covers core chemical principles through Foundations of Chemistry 1, Foundations of Chemistry 2, Introductory Skills and Practical 1, Foundations of Chemistry 3, Foundations of Chemistry 4, and Introductory Skills and Practical 2. The second year progresses to Advanced Chemistry Concepts and Applications 1, Advanced Chemistry Concepts and Applications 2, Advanced Skills and Practical 1, Advanced Chemistry Concepts and Applications 3, Advanced Skills and Practical 2, and Genes to Proteins. The third year involves Frontiers of Chemistry 1, Chemistry and Disease, Advanced Topics and Practical, Miniproject with Chemistry - Biology, Frontiers of Chemistry 2, and Frontiers of Chemistry 3. The final year takes place abroad and includes Professional Research Development, Advanced Research project (Abroad), and Research Communication.
