Medicinal and Biological Chemistry Manchester Metropolitan University Degree level: Undergraduate
Course summary
TEF Silver
Manchester Metropolitan University has opted into the TEF and received a Silver award.
Medicinal and biological chemistry are central pillars of drug design, covering the skills, techniques and understanding crucial to a career in the development, testing and production of new treatments. So, while this course is rooted in general chemistry – offering a good grounding in broad principles, research methods and laboratory techniques – it’s a specialist course, designed in conjunction with industry to equip you with the knowledge and abilities employers want.
That means you’ll explore everything from the sources of drug molecules, mechanisms of drug action, computational drug modelling, spectroscopy and the preparation of drug molecules, to biochemistry, physiochemical processes, medicinal chemistry, bioinorganic and bioorganic chemistry. You’ll have scope to focus on areas like biomedical or health science units, and you’ll finish off your chemistry degree with a research project of your own design.
