Gain the academic training needed to become a professional chemist, whilst enhancing your university experience with a year studying abroad. Chemistry at UEA has a prestigious reputation – in the most recent Research Excellence Framework (2014) we ranked 4th in the UK for research outputs. It is this cutting-edge research in chemical sciences which underpins the teaching of the course, ensuring your learning is at the forefront of scientific thought.
Accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry, this integrated four-year course provides you with an advanced knowledge of chemistry. You will benefit from substantial lab-based teaching to develop your practical skills. In the final years of your degree, you will tailor your study to specialise in the areas which reflect your interests and undertake an individual research project. Your third year will be spent abroad, studying at one of our many partner universities in North America.

Course programme
In each of the years based at UEA you will study core inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, with practical experiments in associated laboratories. Training in laboratory skills is emphasised because chemistry has a strong practical component, whether it is in the synthesis of new compounds, characterisation of these compounds by spectroscopic methods or studying their properties.
Year 1
The first year of the chemistry programmes will develop your scientific skills – building upon your A level subject knowledge in chemistry but will also include areas such as mathematics and physics for those students who have not taken A levels in these subjects.
Year 2
You will study topics in organic and physical chemistry, together with molecular structure and energy levels, extending your knowledge in the core areas of chemistry and honing your practical skills.
Year 3 (Year Abroad)
You will spend your third year abroad studying at another university. We have a number of reciprocal exchange arrangements in the United States of America and Canada. Those currently involved in the exchange programme are the Universities of British Columbia (Vancouver) and Calgary (Alberta) in Canada and the universities of California, Illinois, Massachusetts and Colorado in the USA.
Year 4
The fourth and final year of the MChem involves an extended research project, which could be a computational or a laboratory project, and further modules in advanced topics in chemistry. For the project you will spend time in a research group, usually working alongside postgraduate students and doctoral researchers. The research project will not only build up your research skills, therefore improving your employment prospects, but it is also an enjoyable and stimulating experience, frequently leading to publication in a scientific journal.
