Overview

At the Chemistry programme offered by University of Leicester you will discover how atoms bond, why reactions happen and how to make new substances for a whole range of industrially, medically and environmentally important processes. You’ll immerse yourself in hands-on experiments, explore molecular structures and master analytical techniques, including spectroscopy and chromatography, to uncover the secrets of matter. Whether you're synthesising new compounds in a laboratory or modelling chemical reactions on a computer, chemistry offers a dynamic mix of theory and practice that empowers you to solve real-world problems and develop innovations that change lives.

Key Facts

If you specifically want to find work as a chemist, whether in industry or the public sector, you should consider an MChem. The extra depth of experience and knowledge you will gain is valued by prospective employers that use chemical processes, and will keep you competitive in the job market against graduates who may have studied for the longer degrees taught in some European countries. Alternatively, an MChem provides a solid basis for progressing to a PhD.
