Chemistry with an International Study Year MSci

University Park Campus, Nottingham, UK

Course overview

Chemistry plays an important role in our society. It is central to finding sustainable solutions to global problems. This includes developing new drugs and vaccines, researching clean energy resources, and feeding a growing population. On this undergraduate masters-level course, you'll have the opportunity to study abroad at one of our partner universities in year three. For example, you could be exploring Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, or the USA. You'll develop an international understanding of chemistry and gain valuable academic and life experience. All teaching will be in English.
