Chemistry, MChem (Hons), with study abroad

Chemists excel as problem solvers and analytical thinkers, driving advancements in the modern world. Lancaster University's four-year MChem degree offers a multidisciplinary curriculum, including core topics like chemical synthesis, physics, computation, and biology, alongside a 20-week research project. The Study Abroad programme provides a year at international partners in regions such as North America, Australia, or New Zealand, enhancing skills through complementary advanced courses. While the university strives to secure placements, availability varies, and students unable to study abroad can transfer to the standard degree.The programme integrates organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry, starting with foundational concepts in the first year, followed by deeper exploration in the second year, and culminating in a major research project in the final year. Students develop practical skills in state-of-the-art labs and gain transferable abilities in communication, data analysis, and critical thinking. Our inclusive department emphasises small-group teaching, excellent staff ratios, and supportive facilities to foster individual success.
