Our Chemistry with Biomedicine BSc equips you with the in-demand skills to make a real impact on the world. You will gain deep knowledge and hands-on laboratory experience across all areas of chemistry and biomedicine, from the chemistry of disease to drug design and delivery to the chemistry of living systems.
Our unique interdisciplinary approach and strong links with King's world-class Health Faculties and hospitals will prepare you to tackle complex, real-world problems, opening the door to a range of future-focused careers. Our graduates pursue roles in the chemical, biotech, and pharmaceutical industries, but also in tech, finance and even law, where their analytical and problem-solving skills are invaluable.
Taught by leading scientists who are shaping the future of chemistry, our course provides rigorous training in core principles including physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry, as well as key mathematical skills for studying analytical and computational chemistry. Our integrated laboratory course enables you to apply your learning, and understand the power of chemistry in solving challenges and driving innovation. You will also tackle an open-ended project, helping sharpen your essential career skills like project management, communication, and teamwork.
You can also choose to study for our integrated Master’s course (MSci), adding a fourth year to your degree during which you’ll undertake a substantial research project. This enables you to integrate advanced knowledge from across your years of study and carry out novel research in the Department of Chemistry, as well as for the Health Faculties and hospitals or even the Francis Crick Institute, a King’s partner and global leader in biomedical research.
We are taught by academics who are experts in their respective fields, conducting world-leading research, in state-of-the-art facilities.
