The Master's Degree Programme in Exact Sciences – Chemistry of Drug Development specialization track equips you with theoretical and practical skills in drug screening, identification, design, and targeting.

An interdisciplinary field of study and research that combines chemistry, biology, pharmacy, and other branches of science for drug discovery and development. The study program aims to provide knowledge of drug creation, development, and determination of practical significance, and to develop research skills necessary to work in high-tech scientific and industrial companies that develop, manufacture, or supply pharmaceutical preparations.

Medicinal Chemistry – an interdisciplinary area of studies and scientific research, which involves chemistry, biology, pharmacy, and other sciences for the creation and development of new medicines. The scope of the program is the preparation of qualified, motivated, and creative specialists, who have deep knowledge of chemistry and research skills, are able to formulate and solve the issues of medicinal chemistry science and the pharmaceutical industry, seeking to work at the high-tech scientific and industrial companies, which produce and supply pharmaceutical preparations, or to continue their education in doctoral studies.

At SDU, we develop novel chemical methods that enable efficient preparation of important molecules with the potential to impact our life. Our scientists working in the area of medicinal chemistry study the structure and function of the most important biomolecules, including nucleic acids, peptides, proteins, sugars, and many other biomedically important molecules that play key roles in human health and disease.

This BSc Medicinal Chemistry three-year course provides a broad introduction to the main areas of chemistry in the first year then in subsequent years specialises in the chemistry and transferable skills needed in the pharmaceutical industry. Throughout your studies, you will spend many hours in our labs gaining hands-on experience in the techniques of drug synthesis and testing and developing your research, mathematical and computational skills.

You will gain the key skills required in this specialised area of science including computing and statistical skills, data collection, communication skills, time management, and organisational and team-working skills.

Chemistry is a fundamental science that has a huge impact on our day-to-day lives. The crucial roles that the pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry industries have played in the fight against Covid-19, have also increased public awareness and perception of the challenges being faced, and thus the national strategic importance of these industries.

The work of developing new drugs to treat diseases begins with the medicinal chemist. In this program, you’ll build on your undergraduate degree in pharmacy, chemistry, biology, or related field with thorough knowledge of the behavior of chemical substances at the molecular level.

The new Degree Course in Molecular Biology, Medicinal Chemistry and Computer Science for Pharmaceutical Applications is a three-year degree program of the L-29 Pharmaceutical Sciences and Technologies class entirely taught in English.

The Dialysis Technician Program at Manhattan Institute is designed to prepare you for employment in any medical setting, such as hospitals, dialysis centres, nursing homes, and long-term care facilities.
