BSc (Hons) Chemistry, Biological and Medicinal Chemistry

About

Chemistry is often referred to as the 'central science'. It covers topics as diverse as quantum mechanics and the study of atomic particles, to the molecular nature of biological systems and the Human Genome Project.

Applications for this course are closed to UK (home) applicants for 2022/23. Applications for 2023/24 will open in September.

This degree will give you a strong grounding in fundamental chemistry. You'll also develop specialist knowledge of chemistry for biology and medicine, from the use of powerful microscopes to investigate the causes of genetic disease, to exploring new treatments for cancer.

Accreditation

This course is accredited by the;Royal Society of Chemistry, assuring the quality of our teaching. This course partially meets the academic criteria for Chartered Chemist (CChem) status.

Each year you'll take a range of core modules which provide a good understanding of the basic principles of chemistry. Alongside these you'll take specialist modules which focus on biological and medicinal chemistry. There are plenty of opportunities to see the exciting contributions chemistry can make in the modern world.

Take a look at a typical week in Year 1

We aim to break down the artificial barriers between different branches of chemistry, helping you to understand chemistry as a unified discipline with common underlying principles.

Our chemistry courses are designed to be flexible, so you can transfer between MChem and BSc courses at any time during the first two years. The title of your final degree will depend on the modules you take from Year 2 onwards.

Study abroad

There are opportunities for you to spend time abroad during your course:

Explore global opportunities

Demonstrators are heroes in blue lab coats. They are PhD students who brief us before labs and help us if anything goes wrong. Most of them are just a few years older than us, so they can often relate to our struggles. They were in the same place a few years back!
