Chimie

When you choose to study for a MChem degree you will join a dynamic and focused learning community that is home to multiple research institutes, a range of first-class facilities and experts with close industry links. Current developments in both research and industry are used to bring theoretical learning to life. Chemistry degrees at Durham offer a high level of flexibility. The MChem contains the same core curriculum in Years 1 and 2 as our other chemistry degrees and you can switch to one of the other degrees up to the end of the second year. You will learn how chemistry is the central science with learning that interfaces with biosciences, earth sciences, engineering, and physics. You will be exposed to cutting-edge analytical techniques and learn how they can be used in research to tackle global issues. Graduates are ready to either move straight into employment in a wide range of industries or advance into further studies and scientific research. You will build strong foundations in inorganic, organic and physical chemistry and learn practical skills in our modern teaching laboratories. In your third year, you will continue to learn the core aspects of modern chemistry, and start to focus on the concepts and skills required in research. Your final year is built around a research project embedded within a research group.
