About this course
MChem, BSc in Chemistry with Study Abroad, a chemistry degree centred on core chemical principles and practical laboratory investigations. Core topics include Microelectronics, Data Analysis, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. This programme is accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry and includes an international study abroad placement year. The first year covers core fundamentals through compulsory modules such as Introduction to Modern Chemistry, Chemistry and Chemists for a Sustainable Future, Introduction to Practical Chemistry and Research Skills, and Chemistry in Action: Atoms, Molecules, Matter. The second year continues with specialized laboratory and theoretical study through Organic Chemistry: Structure, Reactions and the Science of Life, Molecules, Energy, Quanta and Change, Practical, Professional and Research Skills for Chemists, and Chemistry of Materials: What They Are and How We Know, alongside optional modules in areas like big data, ethics and environmental chemistry. The fourth year requires an Integrated Masters Project and Advanced Topics in Chemistry, alongside optional topics ranging from machine learning algorithms to green peptide synthesis.
