Chemistry, the so-called "central science", allows us to gain a rich understanding of the world around us and becomes even more powerful when combined with modern computer technology and data science. MChem Chemistry with Computing enables you to build skills in both areas, developing an increasingly vital skillset for the modern laboratory. Technological advances and dramatic increases in computer power have transformed the way we do chemistry, with computation playing an ever more important role in research and the chemical industry. Our degree in Chemistry with Computing will not only provide a solid understanding of chemistry, but also teach how modern techniques in computational chemistry and data analysis can be put to optimal use to solve chemical problems – for example in materials design, in-silico drug development, and the analysis of large data sets. As a student in Chemistry with Computing, you will be taught by experts in our highly respected departments of Chemistry and Computer Science. You will also enjoy access to our state-of-the-art facilities in STEMLab and high-quality computer labs. Over the duration of the course you will study organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry and grow your practical laboratory skills, making use of the state-of-the-art facilities in our STEMLab. From the second year onwards you will learn computer programming and explore various techniques in modern computer-assisted chemistry.
