Biological and medicinal chemistry occupies a fascinating and productive space between the physical sciences and the life sciences, asking how the principles of chemistry can be applied to understand biological systems and to design molecules with therapeutic purpose. It is the foundation of modern drug discovery, combining organic synthesis and molecular design with an understanding of how biological targets work and how medicines interact with them. As biology and chemistry have converged over recent decades, this has become one of the most dynamic and consequential areas of scientific research. At the University of York this four-year full-time programme develops you as an adaptable chemist through research-led practical and classroom learning. You will study the core areas of chemistry alongside a growing focus on biological and medicinal applications, covering organic synthesis, bi
