MSci CHEMICAL PHYSICS WITH WORK PLACEMENT:

- is concerned with electrons, nuclei, atoms and molecules in all states of matter, and how they interact with their environment. This degree programme covers the area in which chemistry and physics overlap. You will learn how to understand the laws of physics so that you can apply the latest technologies to control molecules and make new materials. WORK PLACEMENT:- This is normally spent doing research in industry or some other organisation such as a research institute like CERN or an academic laboratory. Placements may be in the UK, but are often taken overseas. They happen between third year and the final year of the degree. This degree programme is professionally accredited by the Institute of Physics and recognised by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
