Materials Chemistry, MSci (Hons), with industry placement

Materials Chemistry focuses on the application of chemical principles in fields such as nanotechnology, electronics, polymers, and energy storage. It involves translating fundamental chemical knowledge into practical innovations. Students will acquire essential skills through hands-on experiences, lectures by leading researchers, and advanced analytical techniques, preparing them to develop future materials. Teaching is delivered by experts whose work impacts areas like functional nanomaterials, chemical photonics, energy conversion, solar cells, polymer materials, and catalysis.The program can be pursued as an MSci degree, including an optional work placement year in the UK or abroad between the third and final years. Core modules span foundational to advanced topics, including Chemistry 1 and 2 in early years, Inorganic, Organic, and Physical Chemistry 3, and specialized Year 4 and 5 courses such as Materials Chemistry Project and Nanostructure Materials.
