At its most fundamental, chemistry is the ‘art’ of transforming one molecule into another. Our highly versatile Chemistry masters course is developed to allow you to direct your studies to specialised areas of chemistry. The course places strong emphasis on practical chemistry, complimented with focus on current topics in chemistry research. This enables the principles and theories of Chemistry learnt to be applied within a laboratory setting to solve real-world challenges.

Engagement with a wide range of Chemistry-related subjects is promoted, ensuring that the course is highly interdisciplinary and contains expertise from a range of specialisms, including Chemistry, Food Science and Nutrition, Physics, Chemical Biology and Material Science. You will have the opportunity to be taught by experts across faculties, to gain the skills and knowledge to work in a multidisciplinary environment.

You will gain extensive hands-on practical experience within the laboratory by undertaking a practical skills module , and by carrying out an independent original research project. Optional modules may provide the chance to build up specialist knowledge in areas that align with your interests and career aspirations.

During the Chemistry Masters course, you will develop your knowledge and skills you need for a career within the chemical sciences industries. As well as learning crucial research techniques, you will also develop a range of key skills in problem solving, information technology, scientific presentation, and scientific communication.
