Making new compounds, determining their structures and exploring their reactivities are just part of a chemists job. The work of chemists has led to many things we now take for granted: from cosmetics to detergents, perfumes to adhesives, drugs to dyes, and paints to painkillers. It provides you with a thorough understanding of all the main areas of chemistry alongside medicinal chemistry topics such as: the principles of drug design; enzyme chemistry; toxicology; and chemotherapy.
