The programme has been designed for graduates in Chemistry, and closely related disciplines, with the aim of providing advanced knowledge in modern synthetic chemistry together with related areas of significance in the drug design, discovery and development process. Graduates will be able to communicate effectively with colleagues from other scientific disciplines within an industrial environment. In addition, the programme places considerable emphasis on generic research skills such as the preparation of a research proposal followed by an extensive research project. The MSc Medicinal Chemistry programme comprises five taught modules together with a sixth research module involving a laboratory based project: ? Principles of Pharmaceutical Science ? Functional Group Chemistry & Reactivity ? Research methods ? Medicinal Chemistry & Drug Design ? Advanced Synthetic Chemistry ? Research Project The Programme is full-time over 12 months starting in September with the formal taught modules divided between semesters from September to January and February to May, the remainder of the time being spent on the research project.
