Physical chemistry 1: Equilibria and change

This unit provides a basic understanding of physical chemistry and together with Physical Chemistry II (BPS1032) provides the conceptual and intellectual foundation for further studies in pharmaceutical science units in 2nd and 3rd year.

You will develop an:

(1) Understanding of the physicochemical principles that underpin pharmaceutical chemistry, drug design and formulation design;
(2) Ability to undertake calculations concerning the physicochemical properties of pharmaceuticals and aspects of pharmaceutical products;
(3) Ability to measure some fundamental properties of pharmaceutical materials through laboratory exercises.
