MChem (Hons) Pharmaceutical Chemistry

The MChem (Hons) Pharmaceutical Chemistry is an integrated four-year undergraduate masters degree providing an excellent grounding in the skills and knowledge vital to a future as a pharmaceutical chemist working in drug discovery.

Throughout the programme, you’ll study a wide range of subjects, both to gain a good understanding of the wider subject and to develop the specialist skills central to pharmaceutical chemistry. So, while you’ll study general chemistry, research methods and professional laboratory techniques, your programme will also focus on more specialist areas like drug testing, drug efficacy, computer-based drug design and the quality control of pharmaceuticals.

The programme includes a research project unit, where you spend a year focusing on a major independent project in pharmaceutical chemistry that you design, carry out and present, alongside your other areas of study.

Chemistry is often called the ‘central science’ because its applications form the basis for so many different scientific disciplines. The same applies to your future. Study pharmaceutical chemistry with us now and you’ll open up a vast range of pathways and possibilities. Whether you’re looking ahead to a career in drug discovery, medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutical synthesis, analysis and manufacturing, food and drink, utility, or healthcare industries – to name just a few – you can make your start with us.

As a physical science, chemistry considers the origins, behaviour and properties of materials from the atomic level to the macro scale, and how they affect our daily lives, from health and wellbeing to the material world. Ultimately, chemistry tells us how the material world works – so studying it will give you the power to understand and engage with its processes to improve the world around us.

All our degrees are designed and led by research-active staff, in fully-equipped specialist labs – because we believe that learning skills first-hand is the best way to help you prepare for a range of rewarding careers.
