Course programme

The course structure is very flexible with all Cardiff's Chemistry degree programmes sharing a common first and second year. Transfer to the BSc Chemistry programme is possible at the end of Year 1 or 2. Transfer to an MChem programme is also permitted, subject to achieving an average mark of at least 55% in each of the first two years.

My ambition was to work in the Pharmaceutical industry; therefore as an undergraduate, I wanted to gain valuable professional experience that came with the application of science in a real working environment. This would give me an edge on other students when applying for jobs after graduation.

Tom Edwards, MChem with a Year in Industry Year one

The programme in the first year is designed to stimulate your interest in Chemistry whilst giving you a sound foundation upon which to build in later years. There are five core chemistry modules based around the three principal areas of the subject, but also including coverage of key skills for chemists.

These are complemented by a range of optional modules, which are reviewed and updated regularly. These allow you to exercise choice over your studies and extend your breadth of experience.

You may also take optional modules in other disciplines, such as Biological Sciences, Physics or Modern Languages.

In the second year you will take more advanced modules that allow you to practise and consolidate your new skills by applying them to a wide range of problems.

After completing the second year, you will spend the third year on placement in a company. This will usually be in the UK, but industrial placements overseas are also sometimes available. You will effectively be an employee of that company, engaged in chemistry-related activities commensurate with the commercial nature of the company. The placement is organised by the School, dependent on your interests and strengths, and the School maintains close contact with you throughout your period away from Cardiff.

The sound basis provided over years one and two is consolidated in the final year with following core modules. A substantial research project is also undertaken in the final year.

This is due to the fact that some modules have limited numbers of places available, which are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, while others have minimum student numbers required before they will run, to ensure that an appropriate quality of education can be delivered; some modules require students to have already taken particular subjects, and others are core or required on the programme you are taking. Modules may also be limited due to timetable clashes, and although the University works to minimise disruption to choice, we advise you to seek advice from the relevant School on the module choices available.
