Medicinal and Biological Chemistry BSc (Hons)

Medicinal and Biological Chemistry aims to understand biological mechanisms and processes of atoms and molecules.<br/><br/><strong>The importance of Medicinal and Biological Chemistry</strong><br/><br/>Through understanding the tools of synthetic chemistry and genetic manipulation, we can design and deliver pharmaceutical interventions.<br/><br/>You will learn how new insights into the molecular basis of diseases are being combined with advances in chemistry, biology and nanotechnology.<br/><br/>You will understand how these advances are helping to create new generations of innovative therapeutics.<br/><br/>This degree programme provides the framework for understanding how biological molecules work together in networks and pathways. This comes from a solid foundation in chemistry, cell and molecular biology, from the basics to the cutting-edge of todays research.<br/><br/>The programme focuses on the range of analytical and experimental skills necessary to practice the subject. It also provides insight into research through a final-year research project.<br/><br/><strong>Programme benefits</strong><br/><br/><br/>* All our chemistry programmes are accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry.<br/><br/><br/>* You will have the opportunity to combine the study of chemistry with a wide range of other subjects in Years 1 and 2.<br/><br/><br/>* The School of Chemistry scored 75% in the National Student Survey 2024 for overall student satisfaction.<br/>
