About this course

Chemistry with Biological and Medicinal Chemistry is a degree that sits at one of the most productive frontiers in modern science: the intersection between chemistry, biology, and the design of new medicines. Chemistry provides the fundamental principles governing how matter behaves and how molecules are made and transformed. Biological chemistry extends those principles to the molecules of life, exploring how proteins, nucleic acids, and metabolites function in living systems. Medicinal chemistry applies all of this knowledge to the challenge of designing molecules that can interact selectively with biological targets to treat disease. At the University of Sheffield, this four-year, full-time MChem programme is designed to develop advanced research skills and to prepare graduates for the growing demands of the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors. You will study the full breadth of ch
