DT299: Chemical Sciences with Medicinal Chemistry
Programme title: Chemical Sciences with Medicinal Chemistry
Programme code: DT299
Programme level: 8
This programme is recognised by the institute of Chemistry of Ireland, the Royal Society of Chemistry, RSC and the Irish Teaching Council
Chemical science involves the study of all materials, how they are made, analysis of them and their application to modern society. Medicinal chemistry is the study of how medicines are made, tested for commercial use and the chemistry of how they work. Both areas open opportunities to a wide range of careers both nationally and internationally.
You might enjoy this programme if you have an interest in making new chemicals for a variety of applications in society. Finding out how to identify and analyse them using modern instrumentation. Discovering how medicines evolve from bench to bedside.

Student Testimonial
"I enjoyed the specialised topics covered in each year"
"Its great making things in the lab and then analysing them to see if you have made the right molecule"
"I did not have chemistry for my leaving cert but am now doing a chemistry degree and I feel the tutorials help me understand where I might have questions"
"We visited a pharmaceutical company and I got to see the different jobs I could have in the future"
Graduate Testimonial
"After completing the ordinary degree in chemistry I entered year 4 of DT299. The course was very intensive but it met my expectations as it covers in much more detail the main areas in chemistry like organic, inorganic, physical, analytical and industrial chemistry. My project was based in the Marine Institute in Galway on the analysis of ammonia in sea water samples. On graduating I was hired as an Analytical Scientist in Biovail technologies. I then moved to Gerard Laboratories in the technical development group. On graduating from DT299 I am now in University of St. Andrews, Scotland doing my PhD. I found the DT299 course was structured well and the classes were taught well by very good lecturers. I had a very enjoyable experience in the DIT, and I would recommend it. I am a graduate of the DT299 Chemical Sciences degree and I am currently doing a PhD in DIT on Photocatalysts. During my research I spent 6 months in Rice University, Houston, Texas as part of the FAS Science challenge. In a recent survey carried out on our graduates the key features of this programme were highlighted as ‘the hands on practical element of the programme, opportunities for projects in research groups or industry, the approachability of lecturers, possibilities for Erasmus projects abroad."
