What you will study

The aim of the programme is to teach students how medicinal chemistry is used to discover small molecule therapeutics or biologics. Also, it will arm students with critical and technical knowledge of the analysis, development and design of medicines plus related disciplines (such as drug screening and biomarkers). Students will study and explore recent trends in chemical and biological therapeutics and cutting-edge technologies used within the pharmaceutical industry.

For a student to go on placement they are required to pass every module first time with no reassessments. It is the responsibility of individual students to find a suitable paid placement. Students will be supported by our dedicated placement team in securing this opportunity.

Modules

The module details the synthetic chemistry behind the development of drug molecules and evaluates quantitatively the structure activity effects from pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic perspectives. Advanced experimental techniques in spectroscopy and compound separation will be discussed in the context of drug discovery and development. The module also outlines the process for intellectual property protection and exploitation.
