Combine your passion for chemistry with a desire to make a real contribution to the development of new pharmaceuticals.If you’re interested in the drug discovery process and want to pursue a career in the pharmaceutical industry, this is the course for you.You’ll gain a solid foundation in chemistry with a focus on the preparation of drugs and medicines, how they work, and the steps involved in the drug discovery process. Major pharmaceutical companies have contributed to the design of the course so you can be sure your studies will be relevant for industry. You’ll develop in-depth knowledge of the drug design process, and the skills to carry out experimental and computational drug discovery projects.Tailor to your interestsYou’ll be able to specialise in areas that interest you most with optional units and a research project. Our chemistry degrees all have the same core units in the first year, giving you the flexibility to switch courses in the second year if your interests change.Master of Chemistry (MChem)The MChem degree provides you with the same core skills and knowledge as the bachelor’s but with greater exposure to research and advanced practical techniques, including a major research project throughout the final year.Supporting your studiesAs a student here, you’ll be part of a supportive department with friendly staff, an open-door culture and an active student community, including our chemistry society and Chem Crew student mentors.
