Chemistry with an Integrated Foundation Year MChem (Hons)

Chemistry with an Integrated Foundation Year is a one year programme designed to improve your mathematical and scientific understanding and skills to a level where you will be able to start a degree in the Department of Chemistry in one of the following subject areas: Chemistry, BSc Chemistry, MChem Chemistry with Industrial Experience, MChem Chemistry with International Study, MChem Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry, BSc Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry, MChem On the Foundation Year you will study mathematics, physics and chemistry. In addition, you will take modules in Academic Skills and ICT (Information and Communications Technology). You will also complete a group project, related to your intended degree programme and supervised by an academic from your future Department.

A-levelStudents are accepted from a wide range of educational backgrounds and all applications are considered on their individual merits.Decisions are based on the application as a whole - including the qualifications, the personal statement, and the referee's comments. The following must therefore be viewed only as general guide.Our entry requirements vary depending on the subjects being taken at A-level. Typically, we would be looking for:BBC, where a student has three relevant subjectsBBB, where a student has two relevant subjectsABB, where a student has one relevant subjectThe subjects considered to be relevant are Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Further Mathematics, and Biology.GCSEApplicants must demonstrate a broad general education, typically a minimum of five GCSEs/iGCSEs, including acceptable levels of literacy and numeracy, equivalent to at least grade 4/C in GCSE/iGCSE English Language and grade 6/B in GCSE/iGCSE Mathematics, if not taken at A-level.GCSE/iGCSE English Literature will not be accepted in lieu of GCSE/iGCSE English Language.GCSE/iGCSE grade 6/B in one of Physics, Chemistry or Combined Science is also required, if not taken at A-level.International Baccalaureate32 points overall, with 5,5,5 at Higher Level, including one of Chemistry, Mathematics (either ‘Analysis and Approaches’ or ‘Applications and Interpretation’ are acceptable) or Physics.If Mathematics is not studied at Higher Level, then we would require Standard Level Mathematics (either ‘Analysis and Approaches’ or ‘Applications and Interpretation’ are acceptable) with Grade 6 or higher
