Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with Biomedicine Kings College London, UK

The Chemistry with Biomedicine BSc degree will give you a strong theoretical and experimental understanding of chemistry. You’ll explore the different strands of chemistry and apply them to biological and biomedical systems - all under the guidance of our research-led scientists.

This programme is designed to train the next generation of articulate, flexible and biomedically aware chemists for a wide variety of careers starting with chemical, biotech and pharmaceutical industries and extending to wide careers such as finance, law and media.

Key benefits

• The only London university to combine Chemistry and Biomedicine, taking advantage of King’s strengths in biomedical research.
• Flexibility to transfer to Chemistry with Biomedicine MSci, to Chemistry MSci/BSc degrees or to a Year in industry programme.
• Research-enriched teaching delivered by chemists working within a very broad range of biomedical and health applications.
• Career flexibility: you’ll gain a wide range of skills to use in the growing fields of biomedical engineering, biotech, chemical biology and biological and biomedical research.
• Fully integrated laboratory facilities in the heart of London.
• One of very few universities to offer a degree in Chemistry with Biomedicine.

Chemistry with Biomedicine BSc provides you with a comprehensive theoretical and practical understanding of chemistry and how it is applied in biomedicine to prepare you for a professional life in the ever-changing, interdisciplinary environment of 21st century chemistry. To achieve these goals, this programme integrates the teaching of core chemical principles with techniques from biomedical research, all illustrated with examples taken from the very broad range of chemical biology and biomedicine research and practice at King’s.

The programme 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 incorporates an integrated laboratory course that brings together the different strands of chemistry.

In your third year, you will study a range of specialised modules in order to investigate particular aspects of the application of chemical principles to biological and biomedical problems.

Our academics have expertise in a wide range of research areas, including chemical biology, biomolecular spectroscopy, computational methods, materials science and nanotechnology, pharmaceutical sciences, analytical chemistry, and a wide range of developmental and cell biology.
