Course summary
Examine how chemistry, mathematics and physics intersect on this five-year course, which focuses on work at the boundary of all three disciplines. You'll gain a thorough understanding of the foundations that underpin organic, inorganic and physical chemistry through lectures, workshops and labs, and explore this through the lens of molecular physics. You can choose modules from a range of specialist research areas, including molecular imaging, nanomaterials and robot chemistry, and complete a research project in an area of your interest. Extensive laboratory experience will also help you gain confidence in applying a large number of different experimental techniques. The molecular physics specialism is in high demand in research and the commercial world, and this course prepares you to apply it to both. The year in industry option gives you an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the field with a leading industrial partner. Previous placements have been at AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline and Merck. With a focus on lab experience, you'll graduate with the practical, analytical and theoretical skills required to work in a range of fields. These include pharmaceuticals, data science, industrial development, and finance. Years one and two of our Chemistry degrees follow the same core course content, supplemented by optional modules designed to match your chosen course of study.
Professional accreditationThis degree leads to a Master’s level qualification and is professionally accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). This accreditation is internationally respected in an increasingly global industry and graduate market. It will allow you to demonstrate that you’ve completed a high-quality degree programme designed to meet the needs of both students and their future employers. This MSci degree fully satisfies the academic requirements for professional registration as a Chartered Chemist (CChem). Becoming a Chartered Chemist earns you an internationally recognised qualification which can enhance your career prospects and earning potential.
