Course Description
Why choose this course
Our professionally accredited BSc and MChem teach you the fundamentals of medicinal chemistry and encourage you to make your own discoveries.
You’ll benefit from our research-active academics and strong professional links, gaining the confidence to translate your ideas into practice. You’ll also have the opportunity to study modules delivered by our School of Biosciences and Medicine.
Our chemistry programmes offer one of the best staff-to-student ratios in the country, with 92.5 per cent of our chemistry students saying that they are satisfied with their course in the National Student Survey 2022. This means you’ll have excellent support, gaining the knowledge and skills you need to enter the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries.
We also offer award-winning Professional Training placements, giving students industry work experience opportunities with leading organisations in the UK and abroad.
What you will study
Our courses train you in core and medicinal chemistry, covering topics such as physiology, pharmacology and cell biology.
You’ll also benefit from Surrey’s excellent links with leading pharmaceutical companies, where you can choose to complete a Professional Training or Industrial Research placement.
You can apply to study for either a BSc or an MChem. The MChem builds on the BSc with a masters year and is a direct route to a masters qualification. If you study for an MChem, you’ll spend a year doing industry-based research before returning for a final-year of masters-level modules.
Depending on your progress, you may have the option to switch to a BSc or MChem during your studies.
