MChem化学学位旨在将核心化学学科与与21世纪重大科学挑战相一致的高级主题整合在一起。其中包括用于新材料和新设备的纳米科学，用于药物发现的化学生物学接口，用于安全能源生产的核化学，用于新制造方法的生物技术以及用于法医和环境应用的传感器。学生有机会与员工合作进行研究项目和研究这种以研究为重点的环境可以使学生发展实践技能，并将理论知识应用于化学在现代世界中的作用。
Concerned with the study of matter, its properties and reactions, chemistry plays a key role in tackling global challenges such as energy production, health and wellbeing, food security and the use of natural resources. The programme aims to develop the analytical and practical skills required to prepare students for a wide range of science-related careers. The MChem Chemistry degree aims to integrate the core chemistry disciplines with advanced topics aligned to the major scientific challenges of the 21st Century. These include nanoscience for new materials and devices, the chemistrybiology interface for drugs discovery, nuclear chemistry for safe energy generation, biotechnology for new manufacturing methods, and sensors for forensic medical and environmental applications. Students have the opportunity to engage with staff in research projects and this research-focused environment can enable students to develop practical expertise and apply theoretical knowledge to the role of chemistry in the modern world. Chemistry graduates may pursue a wide range of science-related careers in sectors including energy, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and consumer and personal care products. This course aims to equip graduates with extensive analytical and mathematical skills which are relevant to roles in finance, management, science-based marketing and journalism, education, and academic research. Some graduates may choose to continue their studies at doctoral level.
