Pharmaceutical Chemistry

Our Pharmaceutical Chemistry MSci degree gives you the chance to explore the fundamentals of organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry and pharmacology, while developing a specialism in pharmaceutics. Where this course differs from the Pharmaceutical Chemistry BSc(Hons) degree is that the third year of the MSci is a compulsory placement year in industry, a government agency or academic research group. You will develop your logical reasoning skills and your ability to use imaginative thinking to approach real-world problems.

2-million facilities, which include purpose-built state-of-the-art chemistry and pharmaceutical labs where you’ll use modern instrumentation. In your final year, you’ll delve deeper into the complexities of targeted synthesis of organic compounds, molecular targets and drug design, and also have the opportunity to complete a chemically based independent research project. You can pursue the topics that interest you the most, or that you wish to examine further in your future career.
