Overview
Our four-year Chemistry MSci degree will give you a theoretical and experimental understanding of chemistry in the modern world. Our course is delivered within a research-enriched teaching context, transcending the traditional divisions of physical, organic and inorganic chemistry and integrating computational methods throughout.
It is designed to train the next generation of articulate, flexible chemists for a wide variety of careers starting with chemical, biotech and pharmaceutical industries and extending to wide careers such as finance, law and media.
The course information sheet is a printable version of the information on this web page, which you can download here.
The course is accredited by the Royal Society for Chemistry with research-enriched teaching delivered by internationally renowned scientists and researchers.
Includes a major six-month project in our labs or with our hospital partners.
Designed to give graduates flexibility to develop a career in the growing areas of biotech and nanotechnology, chemical biology and biomedical research.
New (2016) teaching laboratories and research facilities.
Includes an opportunity to transfer to a study abroad pathway and spend your third year, or a semester of your third year, studying at a partner institution before returning to complete your fourth year at King’s.
