The aims of this module are to develop the skills required for original scientific research through conducting an extended literature search and practical work.

The aim of this module is to review modern techniques and technologies in chemistry.

The aims of this module are:

• To introduce the chemistry of biologically active compounds including heterocycles, to examine synthetic approaches to important biologically active molecules and well-known drugs.
• To provide practical training in a number of advanced laboratory techniques relevant to modern synthesis and drug discovery.

The aim of this module is to provide advanced training in modern analytical chemistry as applied to biological systems, including mass spectrometry and related techniques, biospecific techniques, elemental analysis and sample preparation, highlighting applications in health monitoring, clinical and forensic areas, illustrated with examples of current research.

The processing, modelling and evaluation of data/information/knowledge arising from these analytical systems will be a central theme of this module.

The aims of the module are to provide advanced training in modern computational chemistry and teach the students how to apply computational methods to solve a variety of problems in current chemistry and related fields using techniques from classical and quantum mechanics.

The aim of this module is to provide advanced training in contemporary inorganic chemistry.

The aim of this module is to enable students to understand medicinal chemistry, how drugs act at a molecular level and are designed and synthesised, and how these activities may be assessed in a drug development programme.
