From the materials we make to the medicines we take; chemistry shapes our relationship with the world around us. Understanding how chemicals interact at a molecular level is not only fascinating, but also of critical importance in solving some of greatest challenges facing humanity, such as climate change and eradicating disease.
Following the central structure of our MChem Chemistry, this course allows you to spend your third year studying overseas. Your year abroad will not only give you access to different research and teaching techniques, it’ll also give you the exciting opportunity to be absorbed into university life within a different culture. You can choose from a broad range of our partner universities in North America, Europe, Australasia, or Asia, offering similar programmes to our MChem.
Our cutting-edge research in chemical sciences underpins our teaching – through lectures, workshops, small group tutorials and practical laboratory sessions – ensuring your learning is at the forefront of scientific thought. In the final two years of your chemistry degree, you’ll tailor your study to specialise in the areas that reflect your interests and career aspirations, and you’ll also undertake an exciting individual research project.
From the very beginning, you’ll be hands-on in our modern teaching laboratory. The laboratory is light, spacious, and fully equipped with a range of analytical and spectroscopic instrumentation. Later in your degree, you’ll have access to a wide range of state-of-the-art equipment such as our X-Ray and NMR suites and imaging facilities.
Our Master’s course will provide the in-depth academic training you’ll need to become a professional chemist, and the transferable skills you’ll develop will also be beneficial to a wide range of occupations, giving you a breath of career opportunities.
