Overview
The best chemical technologies of our world are utilised in biological systems, where thousands of chemical transformations take place in a well-controlled, environmentally friendly manner.
These transformations occur in biological cells, which represent sophisticated chemical manufacturing plants filled with a broad range of nano devices.
Students graduating with this degree will acquire knowledge of advanced chemistry, and of molecular principles of organisation and functioning of living matter. They will also acquire skills in the applications of these principles in biomedical, biotechnological, pharmaceutical, food and other related industries.
Career & Graduate Study Opportunities
The interdisciplinary aspect of this Chemistry with Biophysical Chemistry (Hons) degree at University College Dublin and the acquired combination of theoretical and practical skills provide broad opportunities for employment in the area of advanced chemical and biomolecular technologies, including:
- Complex bio-molecular formulations
- Bio-nanotechnology
