Medicinal Chemistry is one of our focused degree options that allows you to tailor your chemistry degree and study a particular area of the subject in more detail.

This BSc Medicinal Chemistry, MChem course offered at the University of Leeds provides the opportunity to choose to spend the 3rd year, of the 4-year programme, working in industry, which gives you the opportunity to gain work experience in an industry relevant to your degree. Our students often describe this industrial experience as an invaluable part of their degree and one which stands them in good stead for their future careers.

The quality of the project work is so high, that a number of our final year research projects are published in peer reviewed journals every year. Many of our students find this the most exciting and rewarding part of their degree.
