Chemistry - MSci (Hons)

This four-year programme offers an additional year on top of the Chemistry BSc, in which you may specialise further and deepen your knowledge by undertaking advanced modules and an advanced research project. Chemistry is offered either as a three-year BSc or as a four-year MSci. The first two years of study are identical, so you can defer which to opt for until the end of your second year. We advise you to select the four-year MSci programme initially as this keeps more options open.In the first year, all students will be exposed to the full breadth of chemistry with an emphasis on developing core chemical skills. You will also take modules in mathematics appropriate to your prior qualification, together with further optional modules.In the second year, the three main themes of chemistry are again developed in individual modules, leaving you free to choose two options, one of which can be selected from options outside of chemistry.
