Chemistry (with Industrial Project) MChem/Ind

Core Chemistry 1

provides the foundation for your future studies and covers organic, inorganic and physical chemistry. The aim is to ensure all course participants reach a common level of knowledge regardless of their pre-university studies.

Introduction to Materials Chemistry

introduces the fundamentals of solid state and materials chemistry.

Mathematical and Experimental Tools Required in Chemistry (METRiC)

builds on your pre-university mathematical skills and ensures that you understand the vocabulary of physics and biology that interfaces with chemistry. Analytical chemistry is introduced.

Practical Chemistry 1A

and Practical Chemistry 1B are two modules of laboratory work. These will allow you to learn and practise the skills required to accurately and safely use chemical reactions to create target substances and concludes with project work.

Molecules in Action

Finally, you will choose some optional modules allowing you to tailor your learning in subjects such as mathematics, biology, languages or the chemistry module .

Chemistry of the Elements

focuses the principles of bonding as well as the unique chemistry of the transition metals.

Core Chemistry 2

builds your knowledge of inorganic, physical and organic chemistry into more specialised concepts.

Practical Chemistry

becomes more intensive with three modules, one each for Inorganic, Organic and Physical.

Properties of Molecules

advances your understanding of physical chemistry in the areas of magnetic resonance, surface chemistry and electrochemistry.

Structure and Reactivity of Organic Chemistry

explores how the structure of molecules affects reactions.

Biological Chemistry

or Computational Chemistry Once again, you can personalise your studies with one optional module, including , Computational Chemistry or a module from another department.

Advanced Organic Chemistry

expands knowledge in synthetic and mechanistic chemistry, focusing on catalysis, natural product biosynthesis, and molecular recognition.

Chemistry Literature Perspective

You will also produce a research-led which will demonstrate your attained skills of literature review, data collection and critical analysis as well as literacy and presentation skills.

Core Chemistry 3

takes your knowledge up to degree standard.

Inorganic Concepts and Applications

explores the chemistry of lanthanoid and actinoid elements, applied inorganic NMR spectroscopy, and organometallic reaction mechanisms.

Molecules and their Interactions

advances understanding of intermolecular forces and spectroscopy, including electronic, vibrational, and optical aspects.

Practical Chemistry

continues to explore your practical ability in a laboratory setting.

In recent years optional modules have included: Materials ChemistryAdvanced Computational ChemistryBiological ChemistryComputational ChemistryAdvanced Biological ChemistryChemistry into Schools

External Research Project

is undertaken during a paid industrial placement in a chemical company or research unit. You will impart your experimental, analytical, theoretical and problem-solving skills. The project includes laboratory or computational work, or both, and the writing of a research report.
