About this course
MChem (Hons) in Chemistry, a chemistry degree exploring practical and theoretical aspects of the chemical sciences. Core topics include Research Methods. Students undertake a professional placement and complete a masters research project during their studies. The first year covers core foundations through modules such as Analytical and spectroscopic techniques, Foundations and applications of chemistry, Skills for chemists, and Year 1 laboratory. The second year progresses to Characterisation, analytical chemistry and spectroscopy, Computational chemistry, Fundamental concepts of chemistry, Macromolecules and biomolecules, and Year 2 laboratory. The third year includes Masters distance learning A, Professional placement, and Masters study abroad. The final year focuses on advanced topics and independent investigation through 21st century research challenges A, Advanced chemistry 2, Energy and materials 2, and Masters research project B.
