Medicinal chemistry: chemistry applied to a medical setting.
A Typical First Year Timetable A typical week at first year might contain: • Five lectures - two hours long each (i.e. 10 hrs total) • One (or two) laboratory class - three hours long. • One tutorial - one hour long. There are no classes before 9 am or after 6 pm. Wednesday afternoon is generally kept free of teaching. This is approximate and will vary.
Placement Year Completion of year 2 Optional placement year (no need to decide now) Final Year
Placement Year • Many placements are in Greater Manchester, Lancashire or Cheshire • Others are across the UK • Or in Europe
Year in the USA - Biochemistry Biochemistry students have an opportunity to spend a year at the University of Toledo in the US during the 2nd year of their studies. At domestic fees!
Final Year Project We have a range of interesting areas for you to work on with us. • Cancer • Drug design • Synthesis • Molecular biology • Antimicrobials • Materials • Catalysis
Foundation Year Do not have the background to go directly into 1 st year? Foundation year prepares you for entry to first year. Subsequently you can enter the full degree here (or perhaps elsewhere). Biological Chemical Scientific Professional Principles Principles Methods Communication Science for Data Handling Health
Integrated Masters in Chemistry • MChem is a four-year integrated Masters programme • Leads to a level 7 qualification. • Available for chemistry and medicinal chemistry. • New courses started running from September 2019. • Also a placement year between years two and three.
