Studying Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Biochemistry and Pharmaceutical Science at Salford

The University of Salford

We have a history

• 1896: Royal Technical Institute opens
• 1921: Becomes Royal Technical College
• 1967: University of Salford by Royal Charter

We are dynamic

• Continual university-wide investment
• Investment into Peel campus
• New campus at media city

The University of Salford

• A Greater Manchester University
• Very close to city centre
• Best of both worlds
• Peaceful campus
• Close to city

The main campus …

The Peel Campus – Academic

Peel Building Cockroft Labs (Teaching + Research) Maxwell Building (Lectures + Reception) Mary Seacole Labs Main Library Chapman (Lectures)

The chemical sciences are based at the Peel Campus (shown here). Most of your lectures will be in the Peel Building. Most of your Laboratory classes will be in the Cockcroft Building.

A Typical First Year Timetable

A typical week at first year might contain:

• Five lectures - two hours long each (i.e. 10 hrs total)
• One (or two) laboratory class - three hours long.
• One tutorial - one hour long.

There are no classes before 9 am or after 6 pm. Wednesday afternoon is generally kept free of teaching. This is approximate and will vary.

Placement Year

Completion of year 2 Final Year Optional placement year (no need to decide now)

Placement Year

• Many placements are in Greater Manchester, Lancashire or Cheshire
• Others are across the UK
• Or in Europe

Year in the USA - Biochemistry

At domestic fees! Biochemistry students have an opportunity to spend a year at the University of Toledo in the US during the 2nd year of their studies.

Final Year Project

We have a range of interesting areas for you to work on with us.

• Cancer
• Drug design
• Synthesis
• Molecular biology
• Antimicrobials
• Materials
• Catalysis

Foundation Year

Do not have the background to go directly into 1st year? Foundation year prepares you for entry to first year. Subsequently you can enter the full degree here (or perhaps elsewhere).

Professional Communication

Biological Principles Data Handling Chemical Principles Science for Health Scientific Methods

Integrated Masters in Chemistry

• MChem is a four-year integrated Masters programme
• Leads to a level 7 qualification.
• Available for chemistry and medicinal chemistry.
• New courses started running from September 2019.
• Also a placement year between years two and three.

Industry Focus and Networking Events

Our programmes incorporate topics on industry awareness and networking events. Module content includes:

• Intellectual property
• Industry speakers
• Networking (including social media)

Host industry events with guest speakers:

• Learn from people in industry
• Create contacts for future employment
• Apply networking skills
