Programme Description

Chemists in the Pharmaceutical and Biomedical industries work at the forefront of medical research in the design and synthesis, and the understanding of the mode of action of new drugs for human health. As a student you will focus on the interface between Chemistry and Biology, in subject areas that overlap with the pre-clinical years of a medical degree. You will acquire a valuable skills set, including team working, problem solving, computer literacy and presentation skills. A key element of the programme is the opportunity to undertake a six-month industrial work placement which will give you a significant insight into the industry and improve your career prospects. A previous knowledge of Chemistry is not essential to enrol for this course.
