Introducing your course
The four-year MChem Chemistry programme is tailored towards those wanting to go on to further chemistry research or study, or to move into the chemical or pharmaceutical industries.
Our X-ray teaching laboratory is the only dedicated teaching facility of its kind in a UK university. Our undergraduate students can also benefit from the support and learning resources provided by the National Crystallography Service, based at Southampton, and other high-quality teaching and research lab facilities.
A major independent research project in year four will see you working alongside one of our cutting-edge research groups, with the potential to have your work published and make a real impact in your chosen field.
All of our Chemistry courses are accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) increasing the employability and enhancing the CVs of our graduates.

Course programme

Year 1

The first year involves chemistry which is studied by all students of the subject (core chemistry) irrespective of which degree they are studying. The first year is not typical in that not all the modules are worth 15 credit points. However, like all academic years this one involves courses that total 120 credit points and the study load is approximately the same across each semester.

Transfer opportunities to related programmes are available at the end of the year, subject to you fulfilling specific performance criteria. Please refer to Progression rules and transfer opportunities in the programme overview tab.

Physics options available to Year 1 students may include Introduction to Photonics, Physics of the solar system and Introduction to the Nanoworld. You also have a choice of language modules (both 15 and 30 CP) in Year 1.

Semester One

Modules outside chemistry (up to 15CP, 7.5 ECTS) may be taken in each semester. Options in mathematics, physics, biology are commonly available. More details of what is available can be obtained from the faculty undergraduate office.
