About Chemistry, MChem - at University of Greenwich

You should consider this programme if you are seeking a professional career in chemistry. The programme covers the major areas of chemistry in the first three years.

On completing the MChem you will be able to:

  • Analyse chemical problems
  • Show a high degree of autonomy in your studies
  • Operate a range of analytical instruments
  • Conduct independent research
  • Work in a chemistry laboratory safely with a minimum of direct supervision.

The Department of Pharmaceutical, Chemical and Environmental Sciences, part of the Faculty of Engineering and Science, offers a diverse range of programmes underpinned by excellent teaching and world-class
research.

Our innovative degrees employ the very latest learning strategies and assessment techniques. They are designed to produce fully qualified graduates with all the skills necessary to secure employment. Each of our programmes has been developed in collaboration with industry and, where appropriate, is accredited by the
relevant professional body.

Teaching style

Teaching is delivered using a wide range of methods, including lectures, workshops, small group tutorials, practical sessions and fieldwork. An element of choice is built into each degree so students can tailor their learning experience to their particular interests.

Support

Each student is given regular feedback on his or her academic performance and is offered support through our excellent programme of pastoral care. Our students can therefore focus on their studies and have the best opportunity to flourish and excel in their chosen field.
