理学士（荣誉）天体物理学和药物化学

在基尔大学，学习联合荣誉学位将包括两个单一荣誉学位的一些模块。在这种情况下，您的程序将由天体物理学和药物化学的模块组合而成。在天体物理学中，您将学习制定和解决问题-从原子核水平以下到天文尺度。无论物理定律是否在极限范围内进行测试，天体物理学都是活跃的。基尔（Keele）将帮助您使用天文观测，数学模型和计算机仿真来发展用于解释某些最复杂现象的理论。您将发展自己的数学和计算技能，并将其应用于解决实验室内外的一系列问题（您将可以使用Keele自己的现场天文台）。我们实行开放政策，使您可以方便灵活地与员工联系，以
Explore the nature of our universe, tackle global health issues and develop your understanding of drug design. Our Astrophysics and Medicinal Chemistry BSc will arm you with the knowledge, skills and techniques to pursue a variety of careers or continue your studies at a higher level.<br>Medicinal chemistry is aimed at students interested in working within the pharmaceutical sector. From understanding how pharmaceuticals interact with our bodies to exploring drug design to combat various diseases, the application of medicinal chemistry plays a vital part in prolonging and improving life.<br>Astrophysics will give you the quantitative and analytic skills needed for analysing data and solving problems and is underpinned by a core physics curriculum as set out by the Institute of Physics. This includes the fundamentals of classical and quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, optics, thermodynamics, solid state, atomic and nuclear physics, together with the mathematics that is used to describe them. Later in your degree you will study electromagnetism at a deeper level, and have the option of studying cosmology, binary stellar systems and exoplanets, black holes and gravitational waves in different modules. We have our own observatory here at Keele that students on this combined honours programme can get involved with on a volunteer basis with the potential to learn some astronomical techniques.<br>As you progress, you will build on your existing knowledge in familiar core areas of astrophysics including mechanics, relativity, nature of matter, gravitation, electricity, oscillations, waves. You will also focus on areas like the basics of stellar structure and stellar astrophysics. Later in your degree you will study electromagnetism at a deeper level, and have the option of studying cosmology, binary stellar systems and exoplanets, black holes and gravitational waves in different modules.<br><br>The medicinal chemistry element of the course provide you with a strong grounding in core medicinal chemistry knowledge in areas such as the principles of drug design. This focusses on understanding the interaction of small molecules with biological targets in the body and applying this to the design of drug molecules. During practical sessions you will learn advanced experimental techniques including handling air-sensitive reagents, and also complete a multi-step synthesis of nalidixic acid (the heterocyclic core of a new class of antibacterial agents) to mimic the processes used in the pharmaceutical industry.As you advance on this course modules will build on the knowledge you've acquired in the principles of drug design by looking at the mechanism of drug action. This follows the pathway of a drug substance through the body, looking at the key areas of pharmaceutics and pharmacokinetics.
