Course summary

Overview 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, but it’ll also give you the exciting opportunity to be absorbed into university life within a different culture. Chemistry, often referred to as the central science, has far-reaching impact across complementary disciplines. From the sub-atomic particles and quantum science that underpin physics, atoms and molecules that build both commodity and high-technology materials, to the molecules that build, sustain and heal life itself, and everything around us. Graduates from our RSC-accredited MChem integrated Master's degree are equipped with both advanced theoretical and experimental skills, which are seamlessly integrated throughout the course. The concepts learned in lectures, workshops and tutorials are brought to life in the laboratory, ensuring an integrated and immersive learning experience. This MChem Chemistry with a Year Abroad course at UEA will cover it all, while also offering you the opportunity to specialise in the aspects you find most interesting. Our world-leading researchers will have shaped your degree programme with their contribution to lectures, seminars, workshops and laboratory practicals. You’ll benefit from a modern and relevant curriculum, state-of-the-art laboratories and instruments, and dedicated lecturers and tutors. You'll utilise high-performance computing facilities, NMR, X-Ray crystallography, Mass Spectrometry, laser photonics and analytical chemistry suites to contribute to cutting edge research. You'll also further develop valuable skills in project and time management, teamwork and collaboration, problem solving, independent thinking and planning, presentation and scientific writing skills. Graduates from UEA have the highest employability prospects amongst all UK chemistry programmes. Our graduates secure top positions in almost every conceivable sector – from research, operational, and management roles in leading chemical and pharmaceutical companies, to more wide-ranging roles, including as international patent attorney, entrepreneur, data-scientist, police forensic scientist, clinical trial coordinator, and cosmetic chemist. The experience of a year in an international university adds a distinctive element to your profile and will further widen your perspectives. Disclaimer Course details are subject to change.
