Our course will provide you with a comprehensive theoretical and practical understanding of chemistry, and prepare you for a professional life in the ever-changing environment of 21st century chemistry. To achieve these goals, our course integrates the teaching of chemistry foundations with the application of chemistry principles and techniques, using examples taken from the very broad range of biomedical research and practice at King’s.
The course starts with the principles of physical, organic and inorganic chemistry, with additional maths to ensure you can successfully handle advanced physical and computational chemistry. It also incorporates an integrated laboratory course that brings together the different strands of chemistry and applies them to biological and biomedical systems.
Our academics have expertise in a wide range of research areas, including the development of the full range of modern in vivo imaging techniques, inorganic anti-cancer drugs, enzyme biomimics, biomolecular spectroscopy, computational methods, materials science and nanotechnology, pharmaceutical sciences from drug discovery to drug delivery, analytical, forensic and environmental science, and a wide range of developmental and cell biology.
