Our Pharmaceutical Chemistry programme provides the training required to work within the pharmaceutical industry in the discovery and development of new medicines.Students will learn how drugs are designed and optimised from lead compounds, their mode(s) of action and pharmacology, and how they are developed through trials and into manufacture. The teaching on this degree programme is focused on synthetic organic chemistry but also provides a good foundation in other branches of chemistryOur degree programme is accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry and leads to Associate Member of the Royal Society of Chemistry status.
