About Chemistry (mchem) in Cardiff University

This four-year course aims to give you a detailed understanding of the knowledge and skills required to advance into a successful chemistry career.

You will develop a solid understanding of the main areas of chemistry before focusing on areas that are interesting or important to you through a substantial research project worth half of the course credits during your final year. Plus, you will spend many hours in our labs gaining hands-on experience and developing your research, mathematical and computational skills.

With more of an emphasis on research than our BSc degrees, backed up with analysis, interpretation and problem solving together with significant opportunities to develop transferrable professional skills, you can acquire all the attributes needed to be a self-sufficient working chemist.

The school is currently going through the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) re-accreditation process.
