About this course
MChem (Hons) Chemistry, Green Principles and Sustainable Processes (with a year abroad) is a chemistry degree focusing on sustainable chemical practices and environmental processes. Core topics include Research Methods. Students complete a year abroad studying at an international partner university and the degree is accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry. The first year covers core chemical principles through Foundations of Chemistry 1, Foundations of Chemistry 2, Introductory Skills and Practical 1, Foundations of Chemistry 3, Foundations of Chemistry 4, and Introductory Skills and Practical 2. The second year progresses to Advanced Chemistry Concepts and Applications 1, Advanced Chemistry Concepts and Applications 2, Advanced Skills and Practical 1, Advanced Chemistry Concepts and Applications 3, Advanced Skills and Practical 2, and Green and Sustainable Chemistry. The third year builds expertise with Frontiers of Chemistry 1, Atmospheric Chemistry, Climate Change and Net Zero, Advanced Topics and Practical, Miniproject with Sustainable Advanced Synthesis, Frontiers of Chemistry 2, and Frontiers of Chemistry 3. The final year involves an advanced research project conducted abroad, supported by Professional Research Development and Research Communication.
