MChem Chemistry

This four-year Chemistry Master’s degree is designed to equip the next generation of chemists with advanced knowledge, first-hand research experience, and the opportunity to specialize in innovative areas of chemistry. Chemistry has far-reaching impact across numerous complementary disciplines and is key to understanding the world around us. You’ll receive advice both before you start and throughout your studies.

The structure of this course is the same in the first two years, allowing you the flexibility to transfer between the MChem programmes during your first or second year, based on what best suits your goals and interests. The concepts learned in lectures, workshops and tutorials are brought to life in the laboratory, ensuring an integrated and immersive learning experience. You’ll benefit from a modern and relevant curriculum, state-of-the-art laboratories and instruments, and dedicated lecturers and tutors.

In laboratories, 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.
