Loughborough's MSc Pharmaceutical Science and Medicinal Chemistry degree will provide students with training in pharmacokinetics, drug metabolism, drug synthesis, methods to identify potential drug targets and drug candidates, and methods to assess the biological activities of drug compounds. The MSc Pharmaceutical Science and Medicinal Chemistry gives students the opportunity to specialise in this fascinating and vitally important field that focuses on the biochemistry, pharmacology, design, analysis and delivery of pharmaceutical substances, including the development of safe and effective drugs.
Society’s need for pharmaceutical solutions to health problems ensures the demand for skilled individuals within this area remains high. This master's is designed to meet the needs of industry and the UK science base by providing students with training in pharmacokinetics, drug metabolism, drug synthesis, methods to identify potential drug targets and drug candidates, and the biological activities of drug compounds.
Throughout the programme students' learning will be enhanced by the cutting-edge insights of our academic staff, many of whom are active in research, as well as by the outstanding facilities offered within our £17 million STEMLab and additional modern laboratories. Students will enjoy access to a broad range of scientific instrumentation, including: 400 MHz, 500 MHz, solid-state and benchtop NMR spectrometers, single crystal and powder X-ray diffractometers, a high resolution inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometer, GC-MS and linear ion trap LC-mass spectrometers, ion mobility spectrometers, gas and liquid chromatographs, and tunable nanopore sensors.
Students will also gain vital experience conducting a substantial research project, based either in an industry setting or working with a research group in the chemistry department.
