Chemistry with Biological and Medicinal Chemistry, MChem Hons FullTime
The Drug Discovery Science course at the University of Sheffield offers an excellent balance of theoretical knowledge and practical experience, making it an outstanding program for anyone interested in pharmaceutical research and development. One of the key strengths of this course is its interdisciplinary approach, integrating medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, and computational drug design. The curriculum covers essential aspects of modern drug discovery, including target identification, lead optimization, and advanced analytical techniques, ensuring students gain a comprehensive understanding of the field. The practical training is particularly valuable, with hands-on experience in solid-phase peptide synthesis, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and computational tools like Maestro (Schrödinger) for molecular modeling. These skills are crucial for those aspiring to work in drug design, formulation, or related fields. Additionally, the course provides opportunities to read more

I have learned a lot from this course, and I really appreciate the weekly lab sessions, which make me happy as someone who enjoys experiments. The only issue is that the course is quite challenging—learning everything within three years can feel quite stressful. However, despite the difficulty, it is a rewarding experience. read more

They give you the compulsory books for free when you start your degree so there's no need to buy them. Most lecturers put all there content online and have extra work sheets and extra help for students to access. If you want to go see a lecturer for extra help then they're more than happy to see you. There all there to help you out and they all know their stuff as theyve worked in the field they are teaching. For first years, tutorials run once a week, you have one personal tutor and some tutorial questions to do. In 2nd year, you have 3 tutorials over 2 weeks. You also have a tutor for each area of chemistry and they all work and research in that area so they all know what they're doing. Course content is pretty good. It spans over all 3 areas and you learn all the essentials as well as some optional courses in 1st year. In 2nd year, there is no flexibility as all the content is important. As far as I know, job prospects are pretty good here. read more
