About this course
Master in Science in Chemistry MSci, a chemistry degree centred on modern chemical principles and practical laboratory investigations. Core topics include Research Methods. The course includes a final-year master research project. The first year covers foundational concepts through Discover: Themes in Chemistry, General Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry I, Organic Chemistry I, Physical Chemistry I, and Practical Chemistry I. The second year builds competence with Inorganic Chemistry II, Organic Chemistry II, Physical Chemistry II, Practical Chemistry II, and Structural Analysis, alongside chemistry options. The third year advances knowledge via Molecules and Materials, Properties of Matter, Structure, Strategy and Spectroscopy, Synthesis and Reactivity, and research methodology modules. The final year focuses on advanced chemical topics alongside the 4P1 Masters Research Project.
