Overview

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.
