Course summary

Overview 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 the greatest challenges facing humanity, such as climate change and eradicating disease. Choosing between an MChem or BSc course can be difficult. If you’re unsure which course is right for you, don’t worry. You’ll be given advice before you begin studying and while you’re here. Our course structure is common to both programmes, meaning you can transfer between the MChem and BSc in your first or second year. 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. 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 that you’ll need to become a professional chemist. The transferrable skills you’ll develop will also be beneficial to a wide range of occupations, offering a breath of career opportunity. Disclaimer Course details are subject to change.
