MChem (Hons) Chemistry with a Year Abroad
Course Overview
This MChem Chemistry with a Year Abroad program is designed for students aiming for a high-level research career as a professional chemist. The four-year course provides a deep theoretical foundation and extensive practical experience, culminating in a significant final-year research project within one of the department's specialist teams. A key feature is the dedicated year abroad, where you will study at a partner university, immersing yourself in a new culture while advancing your chemical discipline knowledge.
Key Program Highlights
- Spend a full year studying at an international partner university, blending cultural immersion with advanced academic study
- Conduct an extensive, hands-on research project in your final year as a member of a departmental research team
- Follow a flexible curriculum with a common core in the first two years and a wide choice of optional modules
- Gain a deep, advanced understanding across inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry, including specialized topics like catalysis
- Graduate with a degree fully accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry, meeting the academic criteria for Chartered Chemist (CChem)
