The Master's Degree Programme in Physical and Chemical Sciences – Chemistry of Drug Development specialisation track equips you with theoretical and practical skills in drug screening, identification, design and targeting. How to find, identify, design and target new drugs? The programme provides you with strong knowledge on one or more of the following topics that covers the chemistry of drug development from slightly different perspectives: bioanalytical chemistry, bio-organic chemistry and radiopharmaceutical chemistry. In addition, you will learn to master the state-of-the-art methods needed for the full identification of drug molecules and for their quantitation from different types of tissues and metabolite mixtures. Our approach gives you strong hands-on knowledge on medicinal chemistry, since practical laboratory work forms the soul of our programme. Job options Chemistry of Drug Development track has close connections to the pharma industry at the Turku region and international collaborative networks. These provide the students with opportunities to do the Master’s Laboratory Project in their facilities or in collaboration. They may offer internships and job opportunities for the graduates as well. You will be equipped with skills that provide you with multiple career options. You will be able to join the industry in Finland or abroad, or to enter the public sector, for example, in various authoritative duties. The studies in Chemistry of Drug Development provide excellent possibilities for a career in life sciences. For example, you can: – continue as a postgraduate student to pursue a career as a scientist – work in industry as a researcher or quality manager – work in a core facility management taking care of e.g. the mass spectrometers – work in science administration nationally or internationally – work in hospital research laboratories – be a product manager or a project coordinator See admission requirements at www.utu.fi/apply Read more at www.utu.fi/degrees
