Chemical Physics with a Year in Industry MChem (Hons)

**About This Course**From the materials we make to the medicines we take, chemistry shapes our relationship with the world around us. So understanding how chemicals interact at a molecular level is not only fascinating, it’s also of critical importance.This course is for you if you possess an inherent curiosity about the world around you, are fascinated by the way chemicals interact and have a desire to understand their impact on every aspect of our lives, from our health and wellbeing to our economy.You will have the opportunity to use what you learn first-hand in a research environment during your year in industry.**Overview**We have been teaching Chemical Physics at UEA for almost 50 years; today some of the most adventurous scientific activity can be found in this field.Exciting and intellectually challenging, this integrated undergraduate Master’s degree will introduce you to topics across the full scope of the subject, such as the fabrication and properties of nanoparticles, laser systems and their applications, microsensors, computational modelling and photonics.Crucially you’ll cultivate both the academic knowledge and wider work experience that’s highly valued by employers. In the third year of this four-year course you’ll undertake a 10 to 12 month placement in an industrial research laboratory. After initial training you’ll be fully integrated into the research team, contributing to the day-to-day requirements of the organisation.We are a leading centre for chemistry research in the UK, with 98% of our research ranked as world-leading or internationally excellent in the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF 2014). The School of Chemistry’s research themes are light and energy, the chemistry of materials and catalysis, and the chemistry of life processes. These themes influence and run throughout our taught programmes, ensuring you learn at the forefront of research in the field.**Disclaimer**Course details are subject to change.
