Our MChem degree provides a thorough grounding in pure chemistry. With plenty of hands-on experience and a substantial final-year research project, you'll learn from our renowned academic staff in outstanding laboratory facilities.
Chemistry powers many aspects of our lives, from the clean water we drink to the air we breathe. The materials we use in our everyday lives, much of the food we eat, and the energy that runs our homes, schools and workplaces we owe to the work of chemists. Chemistry is a vibrant, fascinating subject that enhances our understanding of the natural and physical world and often provides the key to solving global challenges. This is why students of chemistry can go on to make a real difference in the world tackling issues like climate change, hunger and disease.
This programme provides a comprehensive study of chemistry with the opportunity to tailor the course to suit your interests through a range of optional modules. Ideal for students considering a PhD or career in industrial research, the final year allows you to undertake an extensive research project, supervised by a member of our academic staff and working in research laboratories alongside postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers.
As your knowledge of chemistry grows, you will also develop analytical and problem-solving skills that have value in a wide variety of employment contexts. Our placement scheme gives you the opportunity to gain highly sought-after workplace experience and apply what you have learnt in a real job with real responsibilities, often working with major companies and organisations. You could also broaden your horizons with a year studying abroad.
Our Department of Chemistry prides itself on offering students high levels of pastoral support, a peer-mentoring scheme, and the compelling insights of our renowned academic staff, many of whom are active in research with far-reaching impact.
In Years 1 and 2 the main areas of organic, inorganic and physical chemistry form the backbone of this degree, with additional modules in spectroscopy, analytical chemistry, and mathematics. Laboratory classes, workshops and seminars support these lectures. After Year 2, the development of core chemistry continues along with optional topics which include biomedical analysis and drug metabolism.
In the third year, you will study research techniques and methods that are complemented with further advanced modules in chemistry. You will also undertake investigative projects across a variety of areas of chemistry, building your research skills and team-working abilities. In your final year you will study advanced research techniques that are complemented with further optional modules, and a substantial research project.
