Pharmaceutical Chemistry BSc (Hons)

Study pharmaceutical chemistry to develop skills that will open doors to rewarding opportunities in a range of industries. You’ll learn how AI accelerates the drug discovery process, search for ways to combat diseases and viruses, and be at the forefront of medical research. <br/><br/>Our Pharmaceutical Chemistry programme is designed to equip you with the practical laboratory experience and employability skills needed to thrive in this dynamic field.<br/><br/>From pharmacology and biochemistry to cancer chemotherapy, inorganic chemistry, and spectroscopy, you’ll gain a deep understanding of the principles shaping modern drug discovery and development. <br/><br/>You’ll explore how drugs are designed and optimised from lead compounds, uncover their modes of action and pharmacology, and learn how they progress from clinical trials to large-scale manufacture.<br/><br/>Our innovative teaching approach blends lectures, tutorials, augmented reality, and lab simulations, ensuring you develop the critical skills to tackle real-world challenges as a pharmaceutical chemist.<br/><br/>In your final year, you’ll put your knowledge into practice by conducting an independent research project, guided by expert supervisors. Whether lab-based or literature-focused, this experience will prepare you for a career at the forefront of pharmaceutical science.<br/><br/>This programme is accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry, giving graduates Associate Member status.
