Biopharmaceutical Chemistry

Designing Molecules. Shaping Health. Biopharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Galway combines chemistry and biology to address global health challenges through the design of innovative therapeutics. This four-year programme equips students with the knowledge and practical skills to design and synthesise biomolecules such as DNA, proteins, and carbohydrates for medical use. With research projects in Years 2 and 4, a 20–26 week industry placement in Year 3, and small class sizes, students benefit from a supportive and interactive learning environment.
