You can also take a sandwich year in employment after Year 2.

On completing the MChem you will be able to:

• Analyse chemical problems
• Show a high degree of autonomy in your studies
• Operate a range of analytical instruments
• Conduct independent research
• Work in a chemistry laboratory safely with a minimum of direct supervision.

You will also be an effective communicator both orally and in writing, and have good problem-solving and team-working skills.

The Department of Pharmaceutical, Chemical and Environmental Sciences, part of the Faculty of Engineering and Science, offers a diverse range of programmes underpinned by excellent teaching and world-class
