Edinburgh (Scotland)
Materials Chemistry is an important sub-discipline within Chemistry. It cross-cuts the traditional Organic/Inorganic/Physical boundaries of Chemistry and overlaps with disciplines such as Materials Science and Engineering, Mineralogy, Condensed Matter Physics and some Biosciences. Materials Chemists now have a leading role in the development and application of the new materials that are pervasive in modern life. The with Materials Chemistry degree described here is built on an initial grounding in the basic fundamentals of Chemistry, sharing many courses in the early years with the Chemistry degree programmes.

Course programme
You will spend approximately a third of your first year in chemistry lectures, laboratory classes and small-group tutorials. For most students a mathematics course is also required. The remainder of your curriculum can be chosen from a broad range of courses from across the University.
Year 2You continue with your chemistry course, which again takes up about a third of your time. Additional courses such as Environmental Chemistry, Materials Chemistry, Chemical Pharmacology or courses in physics or mathematics may be required for your specific programme but most programmes still allow considerable choice of option subjects at this stage. The range of option courses available over the first two years allows real flexibility to transfer between different programmes.
Year 3You will study compulsory chemistry courses that provide a foundation for the remaining honours years. If you are studying the chemical physics programme you will take a combination of chemistry and physics courses.
Year 4In the final year of your BSc, or the final two years of your MChem, you will take compulsory courses from your programme and will choose from a range of advanced chemistry courses. If you opt for study abroad, or an industrial placement, this occurs during your fourth year. In the final year of all programmes you undertake independent research work and complete a final dissertation in addition to taught courses.
