Drug Chemistry
(field of studies: Chemistry)

1. A lead compound is active against its target but is poorly absorbed in the body. How would you approach it?

2. How do you feel about using computer modelling, such as molecular docking, to predict how a compound binds to its target?

3. You need to plan a multi-step synthesis of a complex drug candidate. What’s your approach?

4. You receive the NMR and mass spectra of a compound you’ve just made. How do you feel?

5. The programme is taught in English, and you’ll do research projects with students from many countries. How do you see that?

6. How do you feel about the strict documentation and quality standards that apply to producing medicines?

7. Your research project produces no useful results for several weeks. How do you cope?

8. Would you like to present your research at a scientific conference or publish it in a journal?

9. Which future role sounds most like you?

10. What motivates you most to pursue a Master’s degree in Drug Chemistry?
