Integrated Master of Science - Medicinal and Biological Chemistry (FC1R)

The student will explore the interplay between chemistry and biology in order to develop an understanding of human disease and drug design. The course focuses on core chemistry, with additional modules in physiology and pharmacology. In these modules, students will learn about drug delivery, metabolism and targeting, drug structures and toxicities, and cancer agents.

In the integrated masters degree program, the fourth year includes masters-level modules and a major research project. Students have the opportunity to choose their own project topic from a wide range of areas in chemistry, based on their interests or career aspirations. They will benefit from the active research and latest insights of the university's research groups, as well as access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment.

Teaching sessions in the modern labs and facilities will provide students with valuable practical experience and a comprehensive understanding of chemistry. This will prepare them for a wide range of career opportunities. Graduates from this program have gone on to work in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food and drink, and energy. The University of Nottingham is highly regarded by leading employers, as evidenced by its ranking as the second-most targeted university in the UK by employers (High Fliers' Graduate Market in 2022).

Students may also recognize some of the university's staff from the popular Periodic Videos YouTube channel. The university prides itself on being friendly and approachable, fostering a community environment with its students. Academic staff members are dedicated to nurturing students' curiosity for chemistry and providing support through regular one-on-one sessions
