COURSE CURRICULUM

The BSc Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry program provides a robust and flexible curriculum designed to equip students with a strong foundation in core chemistry while offering specialised knowledge in medicinal chemistry. In the first year, students build essential skills across introductory chemistry, physical and biological chemistry, analytical techniques, and practical laboratory work, with optional modules in management and mathematics to broaden their skillset. The second year develops deeper expertise in physical, inorganic, and organic chemistry, alongside medicinal chemistry concepts such as drug design and synthesis, while emphasising research skills, spectroscopy, and hands-on practical experience. In the third year, students consolidate their learning with advanced modules in drug discovery, synthesis for development, and bioorganic and medicinal chemistry, complemented by personalised learning units and advanced practical training to enhance independent research abilities. The program integrates theoretical knowledge with practical application, preparing students for professional challenges in pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Graduates develop strong analytical, problem-solving, and experimental skills, as well as an understanding of the design, synthesis, and evaluation of biologically active compounds. The course’s structure ensures employability, research readiness, and opportunities for further study, producing graduates capable of thriving in diverse scientific and industrial contexts while contributing to innovation in medicinal chemistry and related fields.
