MChem Chemistry with a Year In Industry aims to give you a detailed understanding of the requirements for a successful chemistry career, and a real competitive advantage by experiencing one year in a work placement. Our flexible four-year course incorporates a major research project worth 60 credits in the final year, and a year spent working at an industrial laboratory in the UK or elsewhere. During this time, you will continue with your studies as well as undertake work assigned by the industrial host. The entire year is assessed as part of your degree. A solid grounding across the whole subject of chemistry will be delivered, before you focus in depth on your specific areas of interest. This culminates in a major research project, working alongside subject experts within the School in your final year. With more emphasis on analysis, synthesis and problem solving than BSc degrees, as well as significant opportunities to develop transferrable professional skills and gain invaluable work experience, you can acquire all the attributes needed to be a self-sufficient working chemist.Distinctive features•This course is accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry•MChem graduates are eligible for full membership of the Royal Society of Chemistry (MRSC), and may apply for the title of Chartered Chemist (CChem) after further experience in a relevant job•students who are interested in a placement abroad may request a transfer to the MChem with a year abroad•availability of opportunities to undertake summer research projects in Cardiff under academic staff supervision.
