MChem（荣誉）化学用于药物发现和开发

MChem用于药物发现和开发的化学旨在发展活性分子设计和开发的技能，一直到患者可以使用的最终药物产品。学生可以在制药行业的法规范围内获得合成化学知识，并在药物配方和制造方面积累经验。这将包括对先进实验室技术的大量实践经验。在该计划上，学生将有机会发展化学的全面知识以及特定学科和通用技能，以加深对如何将化学应用于对社会有直接影响的问题的深刻理解。我们的计划旨在培养具有高学历的毕业生，这些毕业生具有广泛的学术化学背景，并且在与社会和工业相关的环境中具有丰富的化学应用经验。
The MChem Chemistry for Drug Discovery and Development is designed to develop skills in the design and development of active molecules, all the way through to the final pharmaceutical products available to patients. Students can gain knowledge of synthetic chemistry and develop experience in drug formulation and manufacture within the regulatory context of the pharmaceutical industry. This will involve substantial practical experience of advanced laboratory techniques.<br><br>On this programme, students have the opportunity to develop a comprehensive knowledge of chemistry alongside subject-specific and generic skills to develop a strong understanding of how chemistry is applied to problems with direct impact on society. Our programmes are designed to produce highly employable graduates with a broad background in academic chemistry and significant experience of the application of chemistry in contexts relevant to society and industry.<br><br>The programme takes an integrated approach to organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry, exploring how they work together.<br><br>Students can focus initially on organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry through an integrated approach that emphasises connectivity. Laboratory workshops and extensive use of specialist equipment aims to enable students to develop hands-on skills. Later in the course, students have the opportunity to apply their experience to a range of real-world applications, including industry-informed interdisciplinary projects. A significant research project provides students with the chance to develop a specialism of their choice. Throughout the course, there is an emphasis on developing the professional skills required in your future career.<br><br>The course includes lectures, seminars, laboratory-based practical classes, and lectures from visiting scientists. Extensive small-group teaching and innovative team-based learning create a supportive learning environment that helps you train through practice- and problem-based approaches.<br><br>All students in the fourth year of the MChem programme currently have the opportunity to undertake a full-year industrial placement. You can choose your placement with one of the University's industry or overseas partners, or in one of our research groups. Placements are conducted alongside advanced academic study, focusing on research frontiers in chemistry.<br><br>Students are supported in finding their placement and when undertaking it. Salaried placements are competitive and students will be expected to complete an application process for such positions. In addition to paying their tuition fees, students will need to cover their own travel, accommodation, and general living costs throughout their placement.
