English-taught Undergraduate Program in Medicinal Chemistry
  

Program Period: 4 Years (Full-time)

Program Starts: September of 2025

Language of instruction: English ( except Mandarin courses )

Degree: Bachelor's Degree of Science

Department:  School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering

Objective：

     Medicinal chemistry involves the creation and refinement of molecules for the purpose of creating or improving drugs. It is grounded in synthetic organic chemistry, a discipline in which scientists combine small molecules to create new ones. Medicinal chemists also improve existing medications by optimizing the structure and properties of molecules. These adjustments can make it easier for a medication to do its job, enabling higher-quality medical care to patients.
     A person in this field would be interested in designing drugs and contributing in this way to therapeutics or healthcare. In these roles, you’ll study, research, and develop molecules that will later be tested for their efficacy as drugs. Earning your bachelor’s degree in medicinal chemistry positions you would like to work in or supervise a lab in a pharmaceutical, big pharma, or biotech company.

   Please note students who have outstanding academic performance in the their bachelor’s degree program will be enrolled in SUES master’s degree program directly.
