Medicinal Chemistry

专业介绍

The  two-year Master’s degree programme in Medicinal Chemistry focuses on the interface between chemistry and health sciences. Throughout the programme, you will engage in the design and synthesis of novel, potential pharmaceutical compounds. Possible areas of specialisation include the role of modern computational chemistry in drug design, synthesis and analysis of new compounds, structure and pharmacological properties of membrane proteins, or microscopic composition of bones and other bioinorganic materials. You may also work with protein modelling and their interactions with drugs, drug delivery, or chemical biology.

Career opportunities

With a Master’s degree in Medicinal Chemistry, you can work with the development and production of new drugs in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. You may also contribute to the development of new clinical and chemical diagnostic methods within the healthcare sector. The competencies you acquire during the programme are also in demand in other sectors, such as the food industry and other areas where chemical knowledge plays a central role. You will also be qualified to communicate your knowledge of chemistry and to teach at upper secondary schools or higher education institutions.
