Overview
The MSc in Medicinal Chemistry at Aarhus University is a specialised chemistry degree with a focus on the interaction between chemistry and health sciences. The programme is taught in English, and you work, among other things, with the design of new potential drug substances and the synthesis of chemical compounds. For example, you have good opportunities to specialise in the influence of modern computer chemistry methods in the design of drugs; synthesis and analysis of potential new drugs; structure, activity and pharmacological properties of membrane proteins; the microscopic structure of bones and other bioorganic materials; and modelling of proteins and their interaction with drugs, drug delivery and chemical biology.
Career
Medicinal chemistry graduates work across a wide range of fields and institutions. Most jobs, however, are within research, development and consultancy in both public and private sectors, particularly in pharmaceutical and biotech companies. The health services also employ many medicinal chemistry graduates, where for example they may be involved in developing new clinical and chemical diagnostic methods in hospitals. The skills acquired in the programme are also in great demand in the food
