Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time
The principal component (50%) of this degree is an intensive novel research project providing ‘hands-on’ training in methods and techniques at the cutting edge of scientific research. The programme also contains advanced taught courses which can be selected to cover the branches of chemistry of interest, a review of aspects of the scientific literature relevant to the research project and training in transferable skills for scientists.
Students develop a systematic approach to devising experiments and/or computations and gain familiarity with a broad range of synthetic, analytical and spectroscopic techniques, acquiring skills for the critical analysis of their experimental and computational observations. They also broaden their knowledge of chemistry through a selection of taught courses and are able to tailor the programme to meet their personal interests.
The programme is particularly suitable for those wishing to embark on a research career and is accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC).
A minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.

UCL offers a range of financial awards aimed at assisting both prospective and current students with their studies.
The MSc will equip students with an in depth knowledge of cutting edge chemistry as part of their research. This will help develop skills of analytical thinking, problem solving, data analysis and communication all of which are valuable to prospective employers.
Employability
This MSc is designed to provide first-hand experience of research at the cutting-edge of chemistry and is particularly suitable for those wishing to embark on an academic career (i.e. doctoral research) in this area, although the research and critical thinking skills developed will be equally valuable in a commercial environment.
