Whether you dream of a job in the pharmaceutical industry, the hospital sector or as a researcher, Medical chemistry is a great starting point and career opportunities are very good.
Are you passionate about chemistry?
Then you can work in the pharmaceutical industry, developing new, biologically active molecules which form the basis for new pharmaceuticals. And with your experience in Chemistry and Biochemistry combined with knowledge of health and disease prevention, you can both contribute to advanced research and development and to more general project planning and management.
Is the molecular-biological field more right for you?
Then focus rests on research in the pre-clinical phase. Here, you perform tests to determine whether a newly developed medicine can be sent on through the testing process until finally reaching the clinical phase, that is clinical trials on human subjects.
