Our chemistry degrees share a common first year which explores the fundamentals of organic, inorganic, physical, and biological chemistry.

You'll study concepts in medicinal chemistry including:

• pharmacokinetics
• pharmacodynamics
• enzymes
• drug design

We’ll also introduce you to structure-based drug design using CCP4 Molecular Graphics software.

You'll study more advanced concepts in medicinal chemistry including:

• toxicology
• enzymology
• cancer chemotherapy
• chemotherapy of infectious diseases

You'll also study advanced organic and inorganic chemistry and explore topics including chemical nanoscience, synthesis and bioinorganic chemistry.

You'll take an employability module that includes a Professional Awareness Event. This is a great opportunity to interact with a range of companies.

In your final year, you’ll complete an investigative research project. You’ll create an original, unpublished work in a modern area of chemistry. You’ll work in an active research environment and generate a researcher development record. This record will highlight the skills you’ve learned during your research project.

You’ll also study advanced methods in drug discovery, advanced problem solving and a range of optional modules.
