Bachelor of Medicinal Chemistry (Honours)

Medicinal chemists design and synthesise new medicinal and pharmacological agents, monitor guidelines for testing drugs, and analyse drug regulatory affairs, assess patent applications for new drugs, inform policy on public health and teach in tertiary institutions.

The Bachelor of Medicinal Chemistry (Honours) provides excellent training in the modern techniques of chemical science applied to the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic agents.

To support your learning, you will participate in practical classes in our purpose-built sciences teaching facility in the Science Precinct of the Wollongong campus or out in the field.

Built into the fourth year of the course, honours includes a substantial piece of independent research in medicinal chemistry, under the supervision of a leading researcher, together with other advanced course work, ensuring that you have the skills and knowledge to meet the needs of tomorrow's employers.
