Join a University ranked #1 in the UK for Chemistry research (THE analysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning (UK top ten for Chemistry, QS World Rankings by Subject 2023).

Guided by world-class experts, you will discover how chemistry shapes the world around us and develop your knowledge to prepare you to tackle some of the world's biggest problems, from climate change to drug discovery.

Our MSci course is suited to you if you want to take your understanding of chemistry to the next level. The experience gained in this course will maximise your career options, especially in science, and provide pathways into postgraduate study.

Our students have used their final year projects to work on vital challenges in chemistry: they have helped discover new catalysts that have the potential to reduce the environmental impacts of major chemical processes, identified and measured the sources of pollutants in our atmosphere, and engaged in organic chemistry projects related to drug discovery.

You'll also gain practical experience working with industry-standard equipment in our state-of-the-art teaching labs, giving you an edge amongst Chemistry graduates. Our alumni have established careers with a wide range of employers, including Teach First, GlaxoSmithKline, Deloitte LLP and HM Revenue and Customs.
