Chemistry MChem

An MChem course is a completely different way of learning. It’s about deeper chemistry knowledge and research.<br/><br/>How do we give you that? You’ll work on your research project for a whole year, which not only gives you extensive research experience but a chance to shape the future of chemistry. Equipped with the knowledge and skills developed throughout the course, you’ll be work or research-ready when you graduate.<br/><br/>**Take your studies to Masters level**<br/>An MChem gives you an extra year to develop and expand your chemistry knowledge up to Masters level. You’ll study Masters level modules in your final year and spend time building your research experience by working on your extended year-long project alongside our chemistry researchers.<br/><br/>**Join our research community**<br/>Immerse yourself in our chemistry research community by attending our regular research seminars. You’ll hear about the latest hot topics in chemistry from lecturers and researchers from NTU and across the globe. Industry partners regularly attend to share trends and developments from the sector.<br/><br/>**Chartered Chemist status**<br/>This course puts you on the path to becoming a Chartered Chemist. If you go onto further research or study, you can apply for professional Chartered Chemist (CChem) status. CChem status shows your academic and professional achievements as well as your commitment to advancing excellence in science.<br/><br/>**Integrated placement**<br/>If you’d like to get industry experience you can integrate a placement into your studies in Year Three. Youll continue with your studies while on placement, including some modules through online learning. This means you’ll still complete your MChem course in four years.<br/><br/>Recently Chemistry students have taken placements at AstraZeneca, Alpha Analytical Laboratory, AkzoNobel, Boots and Castle Environmental. They secured varied roles such as Research Assistant, Trainee Ink Chemist and Logistics Analyst.
