Course summary

Our Chemistry with Integrated Master's MChem offers maximum flexibility in allowing you to explore topics across the full breadth of chemistry, with a focus on your development as an independent researcher.

From undertaking a year-long research project, to extensive access to advanced laboratory facilities and research-grade instrumentation, you will gain the enhanced analytical techniques, data fluency, applied problem solving and employability skills to pursue a career as a professional chemist or further your studies with a PhD.

Chemistry is the science which bridges the fundamental atomic building blocks of the universe to the complexity of the living world. The impact of chemistry on modern life ranges from the advanced materials powering our devices, to the sustainable production and re-use of resources, the key processes which influence our environment and climate, and the life-saving drugs essential to modern medicine.

Our accredited MChem degree provides in-depth fundamental and applied knowledge in addition to current research trends from across the chemical sciences.  Threading sustainability and industrial chemistry through traditional chemical principles and theories, you will explore the fascinating role chemistry plays in addressing humanity's most urgent global, economic, health and environmental challenges. You will have opportunities for individual advanced project work, collaborative learning, work and educational placements, and to explore frontier topics guided by our world-leading researchers.

In the first two years of study, you will build a strong foundation of core concepts in the fundamental areas of inorganic, organic, physical and analytical chemistry. Your learning will be supported through interactive teaching, workshops and small group activities as well as frequent opportunities to apply key concepts in laboratory classes and other practical exercises.

During your third year you will have the opportunity to unleash your creativity and undertake an independent research project. Rather than scripted laboratory work, you will collaborate with an academic member of staff to complete approximately 80 hours of project work, spread over both semesters.

You will graduate with Master's level knowledge, strong laboratory techniques, a suite of transferable skills and an awareness of the ethical implications and issues relating to environmental impact and sustainability. Graduates of this programme enter a range of professions, both in and out of the laboratory. Many also further their research knowledge by studying at PhD level.

Academic chemist

Analytical chemist

Chemical engineer

Environmental scientist

Forensic scientist
