Overview

Our Chemistry with Biomedicine Integrated Master’s degree is designed to give you 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, particularly with King's world-class Health Faculties and hospitals, means you won't just learn chemistry; you'll learn to "speak the language" of biologists and physicists, preparing you to tackle complex, real-world problems and 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, plus the lab skills 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 essential career skills like project management, communication, and teamwork.
