On this integrated master's programme, you will have the opportunity to focus on topics which suit your interests and aspirations, as well as develop your chemical knowledge and laboratory skills. You will develop a range of transferable skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, communication skills and the ability to conduct research. 

The variety of coursework items embedded within the course allows for the development of chemistry-specific and transferable skills, giving our graduates excellent prospects.

This course is accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry.

With a master’s degree, your knowledge and skills will be very appealing to employers and academics as a trained researcher. You may have developed a specific interest in an area of chemistry such as fuel cell technology, catalysis, sugar chemistry or organic synthesis which you’d like to explore at PhD level.

If you choose to go straight into employment, you might work in the chemical, pharmaceutical or environmental industries as a research scientist, analytical chemist or in other roles where scientific knowledge and related skills are in demand, such as scientific instrument sales, patent law or environmental analysis.
