Course Overview
In this course, you’ll study core chemistry classes blended with specialist techniques on disease targets, the design of selectively-acting prototype drugs, synthetic and mimetic strategies in producing drug prototypes, and the refinement of promising compounds.
Graduates of this course have excellent opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry and all the usual careers open to a professionally-accredited chemist.
You can study at a European university for one year of your degree. You can also spend your placement year abroad.
It’s possible to switch between the other MChem courses and also the following shorter BSc degrees within the first three years:
