About Chemistry With Biophysical Chemistry in University College Dublin

Biophysical Chemistry combines the study of the molecular principles of the functioning of life with their applications in modern technologies, from the design of a new generation of smart medicines to green manufacturing. 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 and in a tiny space (biological cells). Biological cells represent sophisticated manufacturing plants filled with a broad range of nanodevices. Students graduating with this degree will acquire knowledge of advanced chemistry, knowledge of molecular principles of organisation and functioning of living matter, and also the skills in the applications of these principles in biomedical, biotechnological, pharmaceutical, food and other related industries.

The interdisciplinary aspect of this degree and the acquired combination of theoretical and practical skills provide broad opportunities for employment in high-tech areas, including:

• Complex bio-molecular formulations
• Bio-nanotechnology
• Forensic science
• Bio-processing
• Bioengineering
  
  Biophysical Chemistry graduates will be able to find employment in biotechnological, pharmaceutical, biomedical, food, personal care and other industries, as well as academic research worldwide. Graduates can also pursue a range of MSc or PhD opportunities in Ireland or abroad.
