Develop your appreciation of core chemistry through to Master's level on this professionally accredited four-year course. You'll be taught by world leaders in the field as you explore fundamental chemistry topics during your first two years .You'll examine key aspects of inorganic, organic, physical, analytical, synthetic and computational chemistry, before specialising across a series of advanced topics as your degree develops. An extensive laboratory programme will help develop your practical skills and understanding of experimental measurements and computational models. Through this work, you'll build a broad range of research skills from finding reliable information, to designing an experimental investigation and analysing and communicating the results. During the third year, you'll examine emergent ‘industry 4.0’ approaches and technologies such as rapid prototyping, biohacking and machine learning. An extensive research project forms the major component of your final year. You'll join one of the department’s academic research groups to complete a six-month independent research project. Teaching is primarily delivered at our South Kensington campus, with regular opportunities to advance your skills at our state-of-the-art Molecular Sciences Research Hub in White City.
