Lincoln’s Chemistry for Drug Discovery and Development degree aims to give students the skills to join the fight against disease by learning how to create better and safer drugs for society. This course is designed to develop skills in the design and development of active molecules, all the way through to the final pharmaceutical products available to patients. Students can develop experience of synthetic chemistry and gain experience in drug formulation and manufacture within the regulatory context of the pharmaceutical industry. This will involve substantial practical experience of advanced laboratory techniques.

Students will be given the opportunity to gain knowledge in core chemistry areas, while specialising in Drug Discovery and Development. There is an integrated approach to organic, inorganic and physical chemistry which focuses on how these different areas work together. Students will be given the chance to gain hands-on experience of analytical equipment through industry challenges, workshops and practical classes. Throughout the programme, students will be presented with opportunities to engage with industry professionals to develop professional practice that can enhance employability. Challenges based on industry-led, interdisciplinary projects are expected to be undertaken all the way through the degree with both national and international companies. Modules can include the core chemistry modules alongside the specialist drug discovery and development subjects such as drug design and delivery, pharmacology and toxicology, pharmaceutical science and regulations, as well as quality and ethics for the pharmaceutical scientist. All students in the Master’s year of the MChem programme have the opportunity to undertake a full-year placement. Students can choose a placement with one of the University’s industry or overseas partners, or in one of our research groups. Placements are conducted alongside advanced academic study, focusing on research frontiers in chemistry.

The way students will be assessed on this course will vary for each module. It could include coursework, such as a dissertation or essay, written and practical exams, portfolio development, group work or presentations to name some examples. Throughout this degree, students may receive tuition from professors, senior lecturers, lecturers, researchers, practitioners, visiting experts or technicians, and they may be supported in their learning by other students.

For each course students may find that there are additional costs. These may be with regard to the specific clothing, materials or equipment required, depending on their subject area. Some courses provide opportunities for students to undertake field work or field trips. Where these are compulsory, the cost for the travel, accommodation and meals may be covered by the University and so is included in the fee. Where these are optional students will normally (unless stated otherwise) be required to pay their own transportation, accommodation and meal costs. Some courses offer the opportunity to take part in placements. When students are on an optional placement in the UK or overseas or studying abroad, they will be required to cover their own transport and accommodation and meals costs. Placements can range from a few weeks to a full year if students choose to undertake an optional sandwich year in industry. Students are encouraged to obtain placements in industry independently. Tutors may provide support and advice to students who require it during this process. With regards to text books, the University provides students who enrol with a comprehensive reading list and our extensive library holds either material or virtual versions of the core texts that students are required to read. However, students may prefer to purchase some of these for themselves and will therefore be responsible for this cost.
