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. This degree deals in depth with those aspects of chemistry that are important to the pharmaceutical industry.
