About

About the course

Reasons to study

Gain valuable real-world experience in your third year on a placement year in industry or with an academic research group.
Your learning will take place in new Â£18.2 million facilities like our modern chemical sciences labs where you'll undertake hands-on practicals.
You'll be taught by staff who are all educated to doctoral level and are specialists in their academic fields, and you'll complete a research project under their supervision.

Our Pharmaceutical Chemistry MSci degree gives you the chance to explore all the fundamentals of organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry and pharmacology while developing a specialism in pharmaceutics. Where this course differs from the Pharmaceutical Chemistry BSc(Hons) degree is that the third year of the MSci is a compulsory UK placement year in industry, a government agency or academic research group. Well support you to find a place thats right for you and wherever you choose to go, youll complete academic assignments alongside your work experience.

We've been ranked best in Yorkshire for our courses in the subject area of chemistry, achieving an overall satisfaction score of 88.1% in the National Student Survey 2022. (Subjects rankings refer to Common Aggregation Hierarchy level 3 and are further filtered to include English HEI's with income over Â£100m+ in the 20/21 academic year).
From day one youll be building up your knowledge and getting to practise the skills that are sought after by a wide range of industries.
Throughout the course youll get to grips with the subject areas through lectures, tutorials, focused seminars and hands-on practicals in modern chemical sciences labs.
Guided by teaching staff who are all educated to doctoral level in their respective areas of expertise, youll be able to develop your logical reasoning skills and establish an imaginative approach to solving problems.
All of these aspects of the course are designed to help build your confidence in applying your knowledge and help you enter the world of work when you graduate.
