Study across the breadth of chemistry with our accredited MChem Chemistry course. Gain the fundamental knowledge that every chemist needs for a successful career and work in one of our leading research groups on a project.
This four-year accredited MChem Chemistry course will give you the skills, knowledge and research experience you’ll need for a successful career.
You’ll focus on fundamental concepts spanning organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry. You’ll gain hands-on experience from the start of your degree, learning laboratory skills and techniques in our specialist teaching labs.
You’ll have regular tutorials to delve deeper into the complex topics covered in lectures. These small group teaching sessions are led by your personal tutor in first year and subject experts in later years.
In your second and third year, you’ll have the opportunity to specialise by choosing optional modules that cover topics like sustainable chemistry, and biological and medicinal chemistry. You’ll also gain valuable independent research experience through a group research project in your third year.
In your fourth year, you’ll tailor your degree to your interests and career goals through more in-depth optional modules, exploring topics such as materials chemistry, catalysis and chemistry of light.
You’ll also have the opportunity to develop your research skills, spending most of your final year working on your own research project as part of a team of research scientists. Working on a real scientific problem, you’ll conduct experiments in our state of the art research labs, learning from academic researchers who are experts in your chosen area of research.
