The Master of Chemistry with Medicinal Sciences program at the University of Southampton Malaysia offers a comprehensive and specialized curriculum that combines chemistry and biological sciences to provide a thorough understanding of disease treatment. Through the study of topics such as natural product chemistry, physiology, and biochemistry, students gain the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute to the development of new treatments and therapies. This program distinguishes itself with an individual research project based in Southampton and a 6-month placement in industry or another academic institution, providing students with practical experience and preparing them for careers in areas such as pharmaceutical chemistry and biological chemistry. Accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry, graduates of this program will be eligible for full membership status (MRSC), enhancing their professional recognition and opening doors to exciting opportunities in the field of medicinal sciences.

Year 1 overview

You’ll study a set of core topics that are essential to your developing knowledge, giving you a solid grounding in organic, inorganic and physical chemistry.

Topics include:

  • Molecular Structure
  • Reactivity
  • Thermodynamics
  • Kinetics
  • Atomic Structure
  • Bonding
  • Chemistry of the Elements

Medicinal science modules focus on topics such as Macromolecules of Life and Metabolism. You can also choose options from the wider university including mathematics, physics, biology and languages.

Year 2 overview

You'll study core topics in chemistry such as:

  • Organic Reaction Mechanisms and Organic Synthesis
  • Atomic and Molecular Interactions, Change and Equilibrium
  • Symmetry in Chemistry
  • Transition of Metal and Organometallic Compounds
  • Bonding Theories of Solid-State Chemistry

In medicinal sciences you can study topics such as Systems Physiology and Mammalian Physiology. You can also choose options that may include Mathematical Methods in Chemistry, Ethics in Sciences, Engineering and Technology, Aquatic Chemistry and Pharmacology.

Year 3 overview

This year, you'll take advanced modules in the core practical and theoretical areas of chemistry such as:

  • Pigments and F-block Chemistry
  • Natural Product Chemistry
  • Electrochemistry, Energy Storage, Pollution Control and Fuel Cells
  • Organometallic Chemistry
  • DNA and RNA
  • UV/visible Spectroscopy and Quadrupolar NMR
  • Kinetics of Interface Chemistry (gas/solid, liquid/solid)

A key element of this year is an individual chemistry research project in a field that interests you. This provides an excellent opportunity to apply your practical skills through over 150 hours of laboratory work. You'll choose from biomedical topics such as:

  • Pharmacology
  • Toxicity
  • Neuropharmacology

Year 4 overview

This year you'll do a 6-month industrial experience placement, or a research placement at another university.

You'll also carry out an advanced research project in an area of your choice, supervised by a member of academic staff. You'll work in the laboratory, carry out literature research and write your dissertation.

In semester 2 you can take 3 advanced chemistry taught modules such as:

  • Exploring Polymer Chemistry and the Properties
  • The Impact of Plastics on Society and the Environment
  • Understanding the Behaviour of Atoms and Molecules
  • Fundamental Concepts in Electrochemistry
