About this course

Why choose this course?

MChem degrees have been designed with the needs of the modern industrial or research chemist in mind. They contain greater emphasis on research, while expanding the academic content of the traditional BSc course.

What will you study?

The first two years of the MChem course are identical to the BSc. If you show a high level of attainment you can then progress to the MChem and choose to complete the degree either by full-time study or with a period of industrial experience.

A range of modules unique to the MChem course will increase your depth of understanding and show you how to approach a research problem. If you choose the course with industrial experience, you will develop comparable skills during your paid placement.
