MChem化学课程旨在让您详细了解发展成功的化学职业所需的知识和技能。四年制学位课程包含最后一年的60个学分的重大研究项目。您将在卡迪夫（Cardiff）学习三年级，但是如果您希望在工业实验室或海外的大学研究实验室中度过三年，则有机会升读具有工业学位的MChem化学或具有国外一年的MChem化学课程。 。在深入关注您感兴趣的特定领域之前，将为整个化学主题打下坚实的基础。这与学校内的学科专家一起完成了一个重大研究项目。与理学学士学位相比，与分析相比，分析，综合和解决问题更加重要，并且拥有发展可转移专业技能的
This four-year degree will give you a solid grounding in the fundamentals of chemistry with an emphasis on research. Our MChem graduates are eligible to apply for Chartered Chemist status.If you're interested in studying a PhD and embarking on a career as a scientific researcher, our accredited MChem Chemistry is the course for you.During the first two years, you will focus on developing your understanding of how chemistry shapes our world. There is greater emphasis on critical analysis, synthesis and problem-solving in years three and four, with an extended research project in an area of your interest during your final year.You will study core topics on physical, organic, inorganic, and solid-state chemistry, with the opportunity to take a wide range of optional modules from green and sustainable chemistry and drug development to heterogeneous catalysis and engineering biosynthesis.Although this course is designed to help you achieve your potential as a researcher, the problem-solving skills you'll develop are applicable to a wide range of careers from education to finance and more.Graduates are eligible for full membership of the Royal Society of Chemistry (MRSC) and may apply for the title of Chartered Chemist (CChem).<br>Career prospectsChemists play a vital role in tackling society’s most urgent challenges – from biofuels and clean water to developing new pharmaceuticals. A degree in chemistry opens the door to a wide range of careers both inside and outside the lab, with the MChem providing excellent grounding for future research scientists.Our graduates are sought after by a wide range of employers looking for excellent communication skills, experience in a lab environment, advanced IT skills and confidence in analysing varied information. With a chemistry degree, you can pursue a range of exciting research careers in areas such as the discovery of new medicines and vaccines, improving understanding of environmental issues and the development of new chemical products and materials using greener processes.The logical and practical training you’ll gain on your course is also highly valued in fields such as marketing, sales, management or finance. Scientific journalism, publishing and teaching are also potential career routes. Previous graduates have gone on to work as development chemists, technical graduates, patent analysts, accountants, and quality control scientists.Graduate careersResearch scientistTechnologistAssociate consultantPhD researcherFormulation ScientistPlacementsThere are a variety of opportunities to undertake summer research projects at Cardiff University under the supervision of our academic staff.All students undertake a two-semester research project within a Cardiff Chemistry research laboratory in their fourth year.If you’re interested in a placement abroad or an industry placement, there is the opportunity to transfer to the relevant MChem by the end of your second year.
