Master of Science in Medicinal and Biological Chemistry

Program Overview

Medicinal and Biological Chemistry requires a thorough understanding of molecules, their structures, properties and synthesis.

However, it also demands the chemical understanding of the nature of biological structures, from macromolecules to cells, the design of pharmaceutical materials in the laboratory and their function in clinical settings.

The knowledge and skills acquired in the programme will leave graduates well equipped to compete for positions related to 'drug discovery' in chemical, pharmaceutical or biotechnological companies.

The lecture courses include topics in:

  • Biological Chemistry
  • Biomacromolecules
  • Chemical Medicine
  • Biophysical Chemistry

These are studied concurrently with a predominantly practical based course offering an introduction to research methods.

Students then proceed to a period of full-time research project work, leading to the submission of their Masters dissertation.
