About the course

With a strong emphasis on gaining practical laboratory experience and employability skills, our programme offers a comprehensive view of this exciting field. Learn how drugs are designed and optimised from lead compounds, their modes of action and pharmacology. We will also teach you how they are developed through trials and into manufacture. Teaching centres on synthetic organic chemistry, but we’ll also give you a strong grounding in physical and inorganic chemistry as well as spectroscopy. You’ll learn about pharmacology, biochemistry and cancer chemotherapy too. In your final year, you’ll conduct your own supervised research project, either laboratory or literature-based.

　　As well as being well equipped for a career in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries – which are among the UK’s largest – graduates are highly valued by business and finance employers for their data-handling and analytical skills. Apply for our Pharmaceutical Chemistry MSci to spend an extra year undertaking an extended research project and studying advanced modules. Consider this option if you’re interested in a career in academic or industrial research. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
