MSc Chemistry/Chemistry (Professional Practice)

  • DeadlineStudy Details: MSc One year full-time / Two years full-time with one year placement / Two years part-time

Course Description

You can take this accredited MSc Chemistry degree as a one-year full-time study option, or alternatively, you can undertake this course as a one-year full-time study with a year-long work placement for the MSc Chemistry (Professional Practice) route.

Your satisfaction is very important to us so we make sure you're taught by experts - the Chemistry team is comprised of academic and support staff that are subject experts in organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry, who have won awards and recognition for this aspect of their work.

As well as working and studying under the direction of world-leading pharmaceutical and medicinal science staff, you will gain hands-on experience in a variety of modern instrumentation including:

  • multi-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (NMR)
  • mass spectrometry
  • transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
  • scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
  • high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC)

Entry Requirements

What are we looking for?

  • A UK honours degree (minimum 2.2) or equivalent in a chemistry-related subject including forensic science, pharmacology and pharmacy.
  • Applicants with relevant employment experience or other relevant qualifications will also be considered.
