Chemistry with Medicinal Sciences

About this course

Chemistry with medicinal sciences is a degree that focuses on one of the most important and socially significant applications of chemistry: the discovery and development of medicines. Almost every drug prescribed in hospitals and GP surgeries is the product of years of chemical research, and the scientists who design and develop those compounds need a thorough grounding in organic chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology and the analytical methods used to characterise and test new molecules. This degree develops exactly that. At the University of Southampton, the three-year full-time BSc develops your core chemistry knowledge, with particular emphasis on organic chemistry and its application to medicinal chemistry and drug design. You will explore the complete drug development process, from the initial identification of a biological target and the design of molecules that might interact wi
