Specialised degrees
There are three, four and five year degree programs in specialised areas of science. An honours year is generally incorporated in the 4 year programs and is an optional year in all of the three year programs for high-performing students.
| Bachelor of Medicinal Chemistry |
|
||||
|
The Bachelor of Medicinal Chemistry is a new degree program that encompasses all aspects of new drug design and development from the initial concept and design of drug candidates, planning and execution of their synthesis including scale-up where larger quantities are needed, biological testing and the study of biochemical effects, and regulatory and ethical matters. This interdisciplinary program is taught by members of the Faculties of Science and Medicine with a strong emphasis on key skills in the areas of chemistry, biochemistry and pharmacology. UNSW offers a unique opportunity to study in an environment that prides itself on the interrelationship between quality education and research. World class facilities exist across the University, from the chemistry laboratories, to the Lowy Cancer Research Centre. Graduates from the Bachelor of Medicinal Chemistry will be in demand for employment in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Our graduates will be equipped with skills in modern molecular biology and pharmacology, underpinned with a comprehensive background in chemistry with relevant synthetic skills necessary for synthesising complex drug candidates. Graduates will also find employment opportunities within the research, government, management, legal, and education sectors. Students interested in combining chemistry with areas related to the medical sciences should enrol in the Bachelor of Medicinal Chemistry. |

| Bachelor of Psychological Science |
|
|||
|
The Bachelor of Psychological Science is a 3- or 4-year program leading to an accredited degree in Psychology as well as providing the option of taking a complementary major in a number of related areas (marketing, management, human resource management, philosophy, criminology, linguistics, history, philosophy of science, vision science, neuroscience, anatomy or physiology). At the end of their second year, students in this degree have the option to choose courses that will provide them with the pre-requisites to gain entry to the Honours (fourth) year in Psychology. For more information go to: www.psy.unsw.edu.au/psychologicalscience. Psychologists work in a range of organisations within both the public and private sector. These include clinical and health settings such as clinics and hospitals, a diverse collection of commercial and non-profit organisations, and forensic settings such as prisons and law courts. Employers range from the army to schools, from the Roads and Traffic Authority to the Department of Health. |

| Bachelor of Medical Science |
|
|||
|
Medical Science underpins the practice of medicine, and studies the structure and function of the human body (anatomy and physiology) including the brain (neuroscience); our inherited form and function (genetics); and development from the fertilised ovum (embryology). It deals with the chemistry of living organisms with particular reference to man (biochemistry), the role of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in disease (microbiology) as well as drugs that cure human diseases (pharmacology), the natural defences of the body (immunology), and the general process leading to disease (pathology). The program also provides the opportunity to study the chemistry of living organisms (biochemistry) and the drugs that are used to cure human disease (pharmacology). More information |
