Overview
The MChem Chemistry with Computing (Hons) degree from Loughborough University will not only provide a solid understanding of chemistry, but also teach how modern techniques in computational chemistry and data analysis can be put to optimal use to solve chemical problems – for example in materials design, in-silico drug development, and the analysis of large data sets.
Over the duration of the course you will study organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry and grow your practical laboratory skills, making use of the state-of-the-art facilities in our STEMLab. From the second year onwards you will learn computer programming and explore various techniques in modern computer-assisted chemistry.
As a student of chemistry at Loughborough you will benefit from high levels of pastoral support, a peer-mentoring scheme, and the compelling insights of our renowned academic staff, many of whom are active in research with far-reaching impact. You will also benefit from Loughborough’s expertise in computer science and enjoy access to excellent computing facilities.
What's the difference between MChem and BSc?
Both the Chemistry BSc (Hons) degree and the Chemistry MChem (Hons) degree are orientated towards the practice of chemistry in the world outside the University. Our 3 (or 4 year sandwich) BSc equips you for employment in chemistry, scientific and other sectors. The 4 (or 5 year sandwich) MChem is suited for students who may wish to pursue a PhD or a career in industrial research.
Your future career
The broad base of the Chemistry with Computing course and its emphasis on team-working, communication, problem-solving and analytical skills, will equip you for the job market of the 21st century. Chemical knowledge will allow you to pursue careers in all areas of chemical science. The specific focus on computational chemistry opens careers in areas such as drug design and materials development while data science techniques will support analytical chemistry. Transferable ICT skills taught will open the path into non-chemistry careers such as software development, IT consulting, finance, and accountancy.
The MChem in Chemistry with Computing is particularly recommended for students considering possible careers in industrial research.
