MChem Chemistry with Year in Industry

Gain an advanced degree in chemistry and significant research experience in an industrial laboratory on this four-year course. This course includes a 9-12 month paid work placement during year three. You will get the opportunity to create valuable contacts and develop transferable skills that will prepare you for a competitive work environment. Our strong links with industry can help you find a placement, in the past our students have completed placements with Dow Chemical Company, GSK, Pfizer and Kodak. You will develop a solid understanding of the main areas of chemistry before focusing on and area that is interesting or important to you through a substantial research project worth half the credits of the final year. Plus, you will spend many hours in our labs gaining hands-on experience and developing your research, mathematical and computational skills. With more of an emphasis on research than our BSc degrees, backed up with analysis, interpretation and problem solving together with significant opportunities to develop transferrable professional skills, you can acquire all the attributes needed to be a self-sufficient working chemist. The school is currently going through the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) re-accreditation process.
