Tuition per year£22,200 - £26,550university rangeThis is the fee range the university publishes for international students for a year at this level, not a price for this one course. Courses at the top of the range are usually the laboratory and studio ones, and a course with a year in industry or abroad is charged differently for that year. Ask us and we will confirm what the course you choose actually costs.
Medicinal Chemistry with a Year Abroad is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Chemistry is assessed through practical reports as well as written papers, and the lab component is what makes the timetable full.
Tuition ranges from £22,200 to £26,550 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
