本课程对同时对化学和物理及其工程应用感兴趣的学生具有吸引力。开发具有特殊性能的新材料要求学生将其新近学习的聚合物和固态材料知识与核心化学相结合。微电子，通信，航空航天和其他高科技产业都依赖化学家来开发和制造新颖的工程材料。该学位的MChem版本是“材料与纳米科学的MChem化学”，涉及材料化学或纳米科学领域的一项为期24周的广泛研究项目，并且允许学生在各种专业选择课程之间进行选择。
This course is attractive to students with an interest in both chemistry and physics and their engineering applications. The development of new materials with special properties requires students to combine their newly-learned knowledge of polymers and solid state materials with core chemistry. Microelectronics, communications, aerospace and other high-tech industries are dependent upon the chemist to develop and manufacture novel engineering materials. The MChem version of this degree is MChem Chemistry with Materials and Nanoscience and involves an extensive 24-week research project in the area of Materials Chemistry or Nanoscience, as well as allows students to choose between various specialist option courses.
