Description

The flagship chemistry degree is our MChem Chemistry programme. This four year degree, accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry, provides students with excellent academic training across all aspects of chemistry and is recommended for those students wishing to pursue a career in the chemical industry or working in a research environment, such as a university or pharmaceutical industry laboratory. The MChem Chemistry with a Year in North America expects you to spend Year 3 wither at your host university or on a placement. To take a year abroad, students must maintain a good standard of academic performance during the first two years of the degree programme.
Going to a university in another country will allow you to experience other cultures and by studying in other chemistry departments, you will broaden your academic and personal horizons.
We now have over 30 years experience of offering degrees with a year abroad and it has proved very popular with UEA students. Most students find the experience rewarding and enjoyable. The school also hosts a number of exchange students each year enjoying their study in Norwich.
In placing you at your overseas university we take into account your field of interest and do our best to place you at the university of your choice. The costs involved to you include transport to and from your overseas destination and living costs, including medical insurance.
We have a number of reciprocal exchange arrangements in the United States of America and Canada. We are always reviewing the universities we have exchanges with. Those currently involved in the exchange programme are the Universities of British Columbia (Vancouver) and Calgary (Alberta) in Canada and the universities of California, Illinois, Massachusetts and Colorado in the USA.
Students on a North American exchange programme will be expected to pay 50% of their annual tuition fee to UEA during their year abroad and we will pay the North American university.

Course Content

Year 1

The first year of the chemistry programmes will develop your scientific skills – building upon your A level subject knowledge in chemistry but will also include areas such as mathematics and physics for those students who have not taken A levels in these subjects. During the first year there is also an emphasis on practical work, developing important analytical and problem solving skills which will prove invaluable throughout your degree.

Year 2

You will study topics in organic and physical chemistry, together with molecular structure and energy levels, extending your knowledge in the core areas of chemistry and honing your practical skills. Please note that the Year Abroad and Year in Industry are taken between years 2 and 3.

Year 3

The third year will offer you a detailed understanding of more advanced organic, inorganic and physical chemistry, with options selected from a diverse list. For those students who wish, there is the option to continue development of mathematical skills. Modules are also available throughout the course which aim to develop the transferable skills required of professional scientists by employers, such as communication, team working and problem solving skills.

Year 4 (MChem only)

The fourth and final year of the MChem involves an extended research project and further modules in advanced topics in chemistry. For the project you will spend time in a research group, usually working alongside postgraduate students and doctoral researchers. The research project will not only build up your research skills, therefore improving your employment prospects, but it is also an enjoyable and stimulating experience, and may lead to publication in a scientific journal. Please note that course profiles may be reviewed and changed for future years of study.

Interviews

The majority of candidates will not be called for an interview. However, for some students an interview will be requested. These are normally quite informal and generally cover topics such as your current studies, reasons for choosing the course and your personal interests and extra-curricular activities.

Gap Year

We welcome applications from students who have already taken or intend to take a gap year, believing that a year between school and university can be of substantial benefit. You are advised to indicate your reason for wishing to defer entry and may wish to contact the appropriate Admissions Office directly to discuss this further.

Special Entry Requirements

All applicants are required to have A2 Chemistry and one other A2 science from Physics, Mathematics and Biology or equivalent.

Offers made to applicants with Access or BTEC qualifications will also include the requirement to pass a chemistry test at the University in Summer 2013. Information concerning the content of the chemistry test will be made available to such applicants.
General Studies and Critical Thinking are not accepted.

Intakes

The School's annual intake is in September of each year.
