MChem Chemistry
University of LincolnBrayford Pool, United Kingdom
Course overview
The MChem Chemistry at the University of Lincoln is a four-year integrated Master's programme approved by the Royal Society of Chemistry. It studies matter, its properties, and chemical reactions, aiming to address global challenges in areas such as energy and health. Students explore core areas of chemistry—organic, inorganic, and physical—as well as advanced topics including nanoscience, biotechnology, and nuclear chemistry.
In the final year, students complete a full-year placement in industry (potentially salaried) or with a research team, while continuing their advanced studies. Combined with extensive laboratory work and group-based learning throughout the programme, this ensures students develop strong analytical and professional skills.
