Bachelor of Science in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences (Hons)
One of the core sciences, chemistry has a wide range of applications affecting our daily lives. Chemists design and develop new drugs, pharmaceuticals and materials, and devise cleaner, more efficient industrial processes to produce them.
DCU’s Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences course cultivates your chemistry knowledge and skills through applied methods. Laboratory work plays a vital role in developing your understanding of research and industry. The opportunity to apply the basic principles of chemistry will equip you with an array of problem solving skills to serve in the professional world.
About the course
Working in the laboratory plays a vital role in your learning, and because our laboratory facilities are among the most up-to-date, you’ll get the most practical experience possible.
Year One of this course is common with other DCU science courses.
In Year Two, the mainstream chemistry lectures and laboratories are developed in parallel with relevant topics in physics, mathematics, computing and biochemistry.
An integral part of third year is INTRA, which ensures you gain first-hand experience in the applications of chemistry during a period of industrial placement.
The final year of the course concentrates on your knowledge and development of more advanced topics. A major element in this final year is your individual research project, which consists of a literature survey on a particular topic, followed by laboratory-based research work in your general area of interest.
