About this course
The aims of the programme include introducing modern chemical science concepts and techniques, exploring further advanced research-led topics through a range of optional modules and to equip you with analytical, critical, and communication skills.
A key aspect of the programme is undertaking a significant research project for your dissertation. This enables you to develop skills in one of many areas aligned with the research interests of the School of Chemistry, for example, catalysis, surface science, energy materials, chemical biology, synthetic chemistry or structural chemistry.
Chemistry graduates have gone on to successful careers in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries with companies such as:
AstraZeneca
BP
GSK
Johnson Matthey
Pfizer
Shell
Siemens
Other career routes outwith a research environment include scientific publishing, patent law, forensic science, IT and energy consultancy.
A good 2.1 Honours undergraduate degree in chemistry or a closely related subject area. If you studied your first degree outside the UK, see the international entry requirements.

Course programme
Students will take three compulsory modules during the course and choose four optional modules in Semester 1 and three optional modules in Semester 2.
The modules in this programme have varying methods of delivery and assessment. For more details of each module, including weekly contact hours, teaching methods and assessment, please see the latest module catalogue which is for the 2018–2019 academic year; some elements may be subject to change for 2019 entry.
Compulsory
- Contemporary Research Awareness: research colloquia and seminars delivered by external speakers and covering areas within current chemical science research.
- Literature Review for MSc: an in-depth survey of the published literature within a specified research area which is related to the prospective research project.
- Research Skills in Chemistry: develops knowledge of specialised research techniques for the prospective research project.
Optional modules are subject to change each year, and some may only allow limited numbers of students (see the University's position on curriculum development.).
