Program Description

Studying a combined honours in Medicinal Chemistry and Geology enables you to engage with two scientific subject areas whilst developing a suite of subject-specific and transferrable skills.

The medicinal chemistry component of the programme will provide you with an understanding of the complex biological and chemical problems that are involved in the design and synthesis of drugs. You will draw on basic chemical principles to solve problems at the interfaces of chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and pharmacology and gain professional chemistry skills that are necessary for laboratory classes throughout the course.

Geology is the science that investigates how the Earth was formed, how life arose and evolved, why the Earth looks like it does today, what resources it contains and how we can find them. Within the Geology component of this degree, you will study topics such as the structure, formation, composition and history of the Earth, natural hazards, minerals and rocks, and paleontology. Beyond that, a range of optional modules allow you to tailor your degree towards your individual interests and career aspirations. The geology component of this degree is strongly aligned to the role of geoscience in the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

GEOLOGY FIELDWORK

Fieldwork is an essential component of a Geology degree, it provides the opportunity to relate the theory and practical activities covered in class to a natural laboratory. Fieldwork is embedded into core modules throughout your studies to help you acquire key geological observation and interpretation skills. It is a great way to foster connections with academics and peers and apply your learning to real-world situations.

In previous years our students have undertaken field courses in the UK to Pembrokeshire, the Peak District, Snowdonia, Mull in western Scotland and overseas destinations including Almeria in Spain and southern Italy.

LEARN FROM OUR CAMPUS - OUR OWN LIVING LABORATORY

Our unique 600-acre campus offers a fantastic experimentation environment to perform fieldwork, test new ideas and discover solutions to real-world problems. It's also a great way to foster connections with academics and peers and apply your learning to real-world situations. The diverse habitats and environments across our campus enable you to learn in an authentic environment whilst practicing sustainably.

GAIN WORK EXPERIENCE IN GEOLOGY

In an increasingly competitive job market, employers are seeking to recruit employees who have high-level knowledge, skills and an understanding of the workplace. Between years two and three of your degree, you can spend a year gaining practical experience with a geologically-focused company or organisation. This will benefit you by providing familiarisation with the professional working environment and the opportunity to apply the geological skills and theories you have learnt.

INTERNATIONAL YEAR

In between years two and three of your studies you may choose to spend a year studying abroad. This exciting opportunity enables you to experience different cultures and to establish international networks. It also shows you have the personal attributes to embrace new experiences which can enhance your employability. We offer exchange opportunities with a wide variety of partner institutions.
