On successful completion of a major or minor in Medicinal Chemistry, students will be able to:

 Learning outcome
1Exhibit a broad and coherent body of knowledge of the processes involved in modern drug discovery
2Exhibit an integrated knowledge of how advances in science and technology are changing the ways in which drug discovery and development are being pursued
3Describe the application of genomics, proteomics and metabolomics as they apply to drug target validation and assess the efficacy of drug action
4Source, collate, synthesise and critically evaluate medicinal chemistry information from a range of relevant sources
5Communicate core concepts and findings in medicinal chemistry through a range of modes for a variety of purposes and audiences, using evidence-based arguments that are robust to critique
6Judge a drug candidate and identify important criteria for development, including physicochemical properties and synthetic accessibility
7Describe the processes involved in translating a therapeutic to market
8Independently propose and justify reasonable and efficient synthetic approaches towards small organic molecule drug candidates
9Develop creative and innovative approaches to problem solving in the field of medicinal chemistry and work effectively, responsibly and safely in individual and collaborative contexts
10Collaboratively design a strategy to identify and validate a disease-specific target, working in a professional and ethical manner whilst adhering to industry regulatory standards
11Address authentic problems in medicinal chemistry, working professionally and ethically and with consideration of cross-cultural perspectives, within collaborative, interdisciplinary teams
