This course reflects the very latest developments in modern chemical science. It also offers the opportunity to broaden your horizons by incorporating a study year in industry. We have highly enthusiastic staff members who take great pride in teaching all aspects of chemistry. The aim of the four-year MChem course is to provide the necessary training for those considering a career as a professional research chemist. The first two years are common to both the MChem and BSc courses so transfer in either direction is possible. The chemical and pharmaceutical industries are the largest employers of scientists in the UK. The Year in Industry option will give you the chance of carrying out a research project at a leading pharmaceutical or chemical company. The experience you obtained while working in industry will also give you the edge in the competitive chemical industry graduate job market.
