Chemistry with Biomedicine

About this programme

Our Chemistry with Biomedicine MSci course 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. In your final year of the MSci, you’ll explore your interests with an extended research project in our state-of-the-art labs or with our hospital partners. The course is designed to train you to be an articulate, flexible and biomedically aware chemist, with a broad range of skills 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. Experts in everything from the chemistry of life to pharmaceutical sciences, green chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology and computational methods, our academics are fighting against antimicrobial resistance, improving chemotherapy treatments and finding new uses for enzymes in carbon capture and plastic recycling. Our Chemistry and Biomedicine MSci 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 .
