Major in Medicinal Chemistry: How To?

[VivaTequila]

Medicinal Chemistry Major
Pre-requisites
CHEM30016 Reactivity and Mechanism
CHEM30015 Advanced Practical Chemistry
As well as PHRM30009 Drugs in Biomedical Experiments and PHRM30008 Drugs: From Discovery to Market but they aren't causing problems, so ignore them for now.


So basically, CHEM30015 Advanced Practical Chemistry has a pre-requisite of CHEM20019 Practical Chemistry 2 which cannot be taken simultaneously with any of the pre-requisites of CHEM30016 Reactivity and Mechanism.

I tried to make a picture to explain the problem.

I wanted to take the Organic Chemistry path to CHEM30016 Reactivity and Mechanism, but it's a non-allowed subject for the other pre-requisite; CHEM20019 Practical Chemistry 2.

Any tips from people in the know or do I have to go to the student centre? I don't think it can be what I think it is, I must be missing something.

All the Level 2 Chemistry subjects which are specific to a branch of chemistry (i.e. "Organic Chemistry 1", "Physical Chemistry 2" etc...) are from the old Chem major structure.

You cannot take any of these subjects as part of a new generation science degree.

The only way into a Chemistry major is by taking the following three Level 2 Chemistry subjects;

CHEM20018 Reactions and Synthesis
CHEM20020 Structure and Properties
CHEM20019 Practical Chemistry 2

So, if you want to also fulfill your med prereqs while pursuing a major in Medicinal Chemistry, your second year would have to look something like;

ANAT20006 Principles of Human Structure
BCMB20002 Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
PHYS20008 Human Physiology
CHEM20018 Reactions and Synthesis
CHEM20020 Structure and Properties
CHEM20019 Practical Chemistry 2
PHRM20001 Pharmacology: How Drugs Work
BREADTH

Thus, you would have to use up one of breadths for the year to make way for a science core.

Hope that helps!

Dude, thank you! I dunno how I missed that they were from the old degree.

Well, second year subjects, done and dusted
