Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry

Programme structure

• Programme structure

Our Masters programmes last one year (for a full-time student) and contain 180 credits. You will undertake 120 credits of lecture courses in Semesters 1 and 2. During the Summer (May to September) you will work on your MSc project, which is worth 60 credits.

• Research Project

A research project embedded within one of our internationally-leading research groups is central to our advanced teaching ethos. The project will be supplemented by specialist lecture courses, supporting Chemistry, its specific applications and generic research skills.

Courses

Most of your lectures will be in common with the final-year MSci Chemistry or Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry classes. In addition you will attend the “Frontiers of Chemistry” course together with the level-3 MSci class.
As an MSc Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry student, you will attend specialized lectures in pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, and chemical biology.
