On Campus
Chemistry is offered either as a three-year BSc or as a four-year MSci. The first two years of study are identical, so you can defer which to opt for until the end of your second year. Transferring from the BSc to the MSci degree course is permitted subject to approval, provided academic performance is consistently at the 2:1 level or higher. We advise you to select the four-year MSci course initially as this keeps more options open.
In the first year, all students will be exposed to the full breadth of chemistry with an emphasis on developing core chemical skills. You will also take modules in mathematics appropriate to your prior qualification, together with further optional modules.
In the second year, the three main themes of chemistry are again developed in individual modules, leaving you free to choose two options, one of which can be selected from options outside of chemistry.
In the third year you will undertake more research focused activities in the laboratory classes and also explore a current topic in the scientific literature, writing a review and presenting your work. In addition to the core modules in inorganic, organic and physical chemistry you will have scope to develop your own interests through the selection of chemistry and non-chemistry optional modules.
In your final year you will undertake a extended project in one of our world leading research groups. You will also study some advanced optional modules of your choosing.
