Course summary
Chemistry is central to solving humanity's most pressing problems - climate change, renewable energy, sustainable materials, and eliminating hunger and disease. Our chemistry degrees help develop the practical, analytical, numerical, and logical reasoning skills you need to help solve these global challenges – and also offer an exciting route into a wide range of future career paths.
In contrast to our three-year BSc degrees, the MChem degree takes place over four years the fourth year builds on the experience of the BSc degree by enabling students to undertake a significant research project, working with an academic group to help solve important real-world problems drawn from the wide spectrum of the chemical sciences.
Placements and work experience
Students in Chemistry are supported through our Department of Student Opportunity to gain experience during vacation periods in other industry sectors including teaching, finance, data science, law, consultancy, marketing and IT or technology.
Undergraduate research
We also have an Undergraduate Research Support SchemeLink opens in a new window which allows undergraduate students to work on an academic research project in Chemistry or another department during the summer vacation.
Industrial Placement
