develop the knowledge and skills, enjoy state-of-the-art facilities and take the first step towards becoming a professional scientist on this mchem chemistry programme. this mchem chemistry degree provides excellent training if a student is considering a career as a professional chemist in industry, research or higher education.

in the first two years students will gain a thorough grounding in the core areas of chemistry. as students progress, they will choose from a range of specialist options on topics such as polymers, organic synthesis, catalysis and biomolecular modelling.

in the third and final years of this course students can choose from a range of advanced options allowing them to specialize in topics such as atmospheric chemistry, polymers and advanced materials, contemporary organic synthesis, catalysis, industrial chemistry, biomolecular modelling and many more. students will also take an advanced laboratory class to learn specialist techniques preparing them for their extended project in the final year. much of the final year is dedicated to a student's own research project; it's an opportunity to think independently, develop their own ideas and gain first-hand experience in a stimulating research environment.
