MChem Chemistry with Year-Long Industry Experience
About this course
Master of Chemistry in Chemistry with Year-Long Industry Experience is a chemistry degree focusing on fundamental chemical principles, advanced methodologies, and practical applications. Core topics include Programming, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Laboratory Techniques, Research Methods, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Students undertake two research projects, including a year-long placement in industry or at a research establishment supported by distance learning lectures. Year 1 establishes foundations through compulsory modules such as Foundations of Chemistry I, Foundations of Chemistry II, Mathematical and Analytical Methods in Chemistry I, and Practical Chemistry I. Year 2 advances these concepts with compulsory modules including Advanced Chemistry I, Advanced Chemistry II, and Practical Chemistry II, alongside optional topics such as Chemical Solutions to Environmental Issues, Ethics in Science, Engineering and Technology: Jekyll and Hyde, and Fundamentals of Biochemistry. Year 3 focuses on advanced concepts via compulsory modules like Advanced Practical Skills in Chemistry, Frontiers in Inorganic Chemistry, Frontiers in Organic Chemistry, and Frontiers in Physical Chemistry, with options including Advanced Characterisation Techniques, Medicinal Chemistry III, and Sustainable Chemistry. Year 4 involves major independent research through Advanced Research Projects and Industrial Awareness and Skills Development, alongside optional modules such as AI and Machine Learning in Chemistry, Advanced Chemical Biology, and Battery Technologies and Their Applications.
