CHEMISTRY AND MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY | 29 BSc Medicinal Chemistry Combined Honours The Combined Honours courses are an exciting way to study operating within the traditional Keele Combined Honours framework. A wide range of subject combinations are available and the Combined Honours route allows you broader career options at the end of your degree. Many exciting areas of research science happens at the interface of disciplines – biosynthesis, chemical biology, drug metabolism, and biocomposites all need a broad knowledge across scientifi c disciplines so a Combined Honours degree can have real advantages if your goal is to work in a cross disciplinary area. You will study two subjects in Years 1 and 2 and have the option to study two subjects equally throughout the three years of your Combined Honours degree. You are also allowed to specialise in medicinal chemistry or your other subject in Year 3 of the three-year course. If you specialise in medicinal chemistry you have the option to pick an elective module in Year 3 from your combination subject.
