Chemistry with Biomedicine

About this programme

Our Chemistry with Biomedicine BSc degree will give you a strong theoretical and experimental understanding of chemistry. You’ll explore the different strands of chemistry and apply them to biological and biomedical systems - all under the guidance of our research-led scientists. This programme is designed to train the next generation of articulate, flexible and biomedically aware chemists for a wide variety of careers starting with chemical, biotech and pharmaceutical industries and extending to wide careers such as finance, law and media. Chemistry at King’s draws on the interface between the physical and life sciences, to explore new frontiers and deliver fundamental solutions for a sustainable and healthy society. Known for our work on the chemistry of life, our scientists are experts in a range of fields, including pharmaceutical sciences, chemical biology, biomolecular spectroscopy, nanotechnology, and computational methods. We are contributing to the fight against antimicrobial resistance, improving chemotherapy treatments and finding new uses for enzymes in carbon capture and recycling single use plastics. Our Chemistry and Biomedicine BSc course integrates a comprehensive grounding in core principles with the skills and understanding to apply this in a broad range of contexts, drawing from active chemical and biomedical research and practice at King’s, and leading to many career options . Students on the BSc and MSci courses do the same first three years, which includes project-driven laboratory practicals in Year 3. MSci students also have the opportunity to tr
