Based around a set of core modules, our MSc in Chemistry also offers a broad variety of optional modules in organic, inorganic and physical chemistry, helping you to focus on your areas of interest.
You will explore topics including biological chemistry, medicinal chemistry and catalysis, taught by leading researchers. Your final semester includes a lab-based original research project with access to a range of superb facilities, including our state-of-the-art Catalysis Institute based in the multi-million-pound Translational Research Hub.
Although this course is designed to help you achieve your potential as a researcher, the problem-solving and multidisciplinary skills you'll develop are applicable to a wide range of careers from education to finance and more.
The MSc in Chemistry course has been one of the best decisions I have made academically as it allowed me to maintain an interdisciplinary skill set, enabling me to specialise in the areas I enjoy the most while still being able to cover a wide range of material at a very high level of depth. The options available have given me a wide range of skills that I can apply to a PhD in a variety of fields.
