The MChem Chemistry with Biological and Medicinal Chemistry course at the University of Sheffield is a study program designed to offer students a specialist understanding and set of skills in chemistry with a particular emphasis on biological and medicinal applications. The course facilitates a profound grasp of the concepts central to chemistry, whilst introducing students to the principles of biochemistry and medicinal chemistry.Course Content: The course has been structured such that the first year provides a firm grounding in the core principles of chemistry. The following years then build upon this foundation with more specialised study in areas of organic, inorganic and physical chemistry, while focusing on the biological and medicinal implications. In the final year, students undertake a research project that allows them to explore a topic of their choice in-depth.Key Modules: Some of the key modules in this course include Biological and Medicinal Chemistry, Advanced Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, Organic Synthesis Towards Medicinal Compounds, and Biological Chemistry. Accreditations: The course holds accreditation from the Royal Society of Chemistry.Future Careers: Graduates of this course have gone on to careers in academic or industrial research and development, management, or teaching. A significant number of graduates also opt for further study towards a PhD.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
