Our Pharmaceutical Chemistry MSci degree gives you the chance to explore the fundamentals of organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry and pharmacology, while developing a specialism in pharmaceutics. Where this course differs from the Pharmaceutical Chemistry BSc(Hons) degree is that the third year of the MSci is a compulsory UK placement year in industry, a government agency or academic research group. We’ll support you to find a place that’s right for you and wherever you choose to go, you’ll complete academic assignments alongside your work experience.

 

This advanced degree opens you up to potentially exciting career opportunities where you can make an impact in a variety of fields including pharmaceutics and pharmaceutical analysis, research and teaching, healthcare and chemical analysis and chemical manufacturing.

 

You can also develop your logical reasoning skills and your ability to use imaginative thinking to approach real-world problems. Some of the core modules you’ll study on this course include physical chemistry, infectious diseases and therapeutics and drug degradation.

 

Taught by doctoral level staff, you’ll be gaining real-world experience in this course by learning in our new £18.2-million facilities, which include purpose-built state-of-the-art chemistry and pharmaceutical labs where you’ll use modern instrumentation.
