Chemistry - MChem (Hons)

University of East Anglia UEA

This four-year Chemistry Master’s degree is designed to equip the next generation of chemists with advanced knowledge, first-hand research experience, and the opportunity to specialize in innovative areas of chemistry. Chemistry has far-reaching impact across numerous complementary disciplines and is key to understanding the world around us. You’ll receive advice both before you start and throughout your studies. The structure of this course is the same in the first two years, allowing you the flexibility to transfer between the MChem programmes during your first or second year, based on what best suits your goals and interests. The concepts learned in lectures, workshops and tutorials are brought to life in the laboratory, ensuring an integrated and immersive learning experience. You’ll benefit from a modern and relevant curriculum, state-of-the-art laboratories and instruments, and dedicated lecturers and tutors. In laboratories, you’ll utilise high-performance computing facilities, NMR, X-Ray crystallography, Mass Spectrometry, laser photonics and analytical chemistry suites to contribute to cutting edge research. You'll also further develop valuable skills in project and time management, teamwork and collaboration, problem solving, independent thinking and planning, presentation and scientific writing skills. This Chemistry Master’s degree at UEA will cover it all, while also offering you the opportunity to specialise in the aspects you find most interesting. Our world-leading researchers will have shaped your degree programme with their contribution to lectures, seminars, workshops and laboratory practicals; and in the fourth year you'll join one of these research teams for your final year project. You'll apply the theoretical knowledge alongside the skills gained in the preceding laboratory and advanced practical and spectroscopy sessions to contribute to conduct a research field. Our graduates have the highest employability prospects amongst all UK chemistry degree programmes. Our graduates secure top positions in almost every conceivable sector – from research, operational, and management roles in leading chemical and pharmaceutical companies to more wide-ranging directions, such as international patent attorneys, entrepreneurs, data-scientists, police forensic scientists, clinical trial coordinators, and cosmetic chemist.
