How will I study?How will I study?The School of Chemistryoffers a range of stimulatingBSc and MSci degree courseswith programmes that prepareyou for a wide range of careerpathways.These modules introduce you to contemporarysynthetic and analytical approaches in chemistry,and the operation of advanced instrumentation.Practical sessions are held in well-equippedlaboratories housed within the School ofChemistry. You will develop your independenceand time management skills, to prepare youfor working in a research environment andemployment.TeachingResearch projectsYour degree course is designed to feed yourcuriosity for chemistry, to encourage you toexpress your ideas clearly and logically, and todevelop your approach towards independentlearning. We achieve this through a seriesof modules that consolidate your previousknowledge, and then explore new topics andconcepts. The academic year is divided into twosemesters and you will complete 120 credits ofstudy per year. There are typically 10 lectures perweek, in addition to laboratory classes.TutorialsYou will also take part in a series of small-grouptutorials that provide an opportunity for youto analyse and use the material that has beenpresented in lectures and laboratory classes.These meetings also ensure that you havegrasped the key points of the lectures andthat you fully understand the course material.Laboratory experienceYou will gain laboratory experience in hands‑onpractical modules that typically run for up toeight hours per week during the first year of yourcourse, and which extend to 10 hours per weekin the second and third years.4nottingham.ac.uk/ugstudy/chemistryDuring the fourth year, MSci students are invitedto join an active research group within theschool to contribute to projects at the cuttingedge of chemistry. You will be given greaterindependence and will be responsible for drivingyour own project under the day-to-day guidanceof a member of staff.Personal tutorsYou will be assigned a personal tutor who willsupport you through your studies and help youmake the most of the opportunities available atNottingham. Your personal tutor is your first portof call in the school and they will take an interestin your personal and academic development,offering you help, encouragement and guidance.AccreditationAll of our BSc and MSci degrees are accreditedby the Royal Society of Chemistry, except forBSc MSci Chemistry and Molecular Physics,which are accredited by the Institute of Physics.5

Findout more at nottingham.ac.uk/celeWhat’s an MSci?An MSci degree is an integrated masters degreethat combines undergraduate and masters studyinto a single course. These four-year coursesmay include a research project and can prepareyou for a technical or research-related career inindustry or academia.If you choose to study an MSci, your studentloan will cover tuition fees and living costs forthe additional year too (home/EU students only).If you are unsure on whether to choose an MScior BSc, we recommend you choose the MScito secure your funding. Transfer to the BScis possible.7
Our coursesBSc MSci ChemistryThese courses provide a strongbackground in chemical theoryand practice and will prepareyou for entry into a wide varietyof careers.Year twoThe final year of the four-year MSci courseinvolves a major research project carried outwithin a research group in the school. Transferbetween the BSc and MSci courses can beconsidered throughout the first 12 monthsof study.Year threeYear oneYear four (MSci students)Building on your pre-university studies, you willspend three quarters of your first year gainingcore chemical knowledge and understanding.If you do not have A level mathematics(or equivalent), you will take an additionalin-house module to prepare you for this aspectof the chemistry course. Optional modules areavailable and account for the remainder ofyour study time. In the second year, theoretical and practicalmodules further develop the knowledge andunderstanding gained in year one. The corematerial accounts for 100 credits of yourstudy with a further 20 credits taken asoptional modules.You’ll study 90 credits that covers core chemistryin increasing depth and advanced practical work.You will also have a choice of specialist optionalmodules to provide a further 30 credits.You will undertake an in-depth 60-creditresearch project. The project will develop notonly your practical ability, team working andproblem-solving skills, but also your appreciationof published literature, your use of libraryand computer database resources and yourpresentation skills. You will complete a further60 credits of optional modules in year four. hroughout my degree, not only did I learn about molecular orbital theory and howTto draw an organic mechanism, but I also learnt skills in project management, publicspeaking and written communication. Since joining Croda, I use these transferable skillson a day-to-day basis, and they are fundamental in allowing me to do my job well.Katie Lamport,MSci ChemistryTypical modulesYear oneYear twoYear threeCore Chemistry StudySkills FoundationLaboratory Work Introduction toOrganic Moleculesand their Reactivity Introduction toSpectroscopy,Energy and Bondingin Chemistry Introductionto Structure,Periodicityand CoordinationChemistry Calculations inChemistryCore Core LaboratoryWork Energy,Spectroscopyand Solid StateChemistry General InorganicChemistry Principles ofAnalyticalChemistry Synthesis andSpectroscopyCore AdvancedLaboratoryTechniques inChemistry Bioinorganic andMetal CoordinationChemistryCatalysis Chemical Bondingand Reactivity Chemistry Project(BSc Chemistryonly) Organometallicand AsymmetricSynthesis Pericylicsand ReactiveIntermediates Solids, Interfacesand SurfacesOptional Frontiers inChemistry Introduction toGreen Chemistryand Processing Molecules of Life MathematicalToolkit Optional AtmosphericChemistry MedicinalChemistry andMolecular Biology Advanced Calculusand DifferentialEquationTechniques SustainableChemistryOptional Chemical Biologyand Enzymes CommunicatingChemistry (BScChemistry only) Contemporary DrugDiscovery Lasers in Chemistry Protein Folding andBiospectroscopy Topics in InorganicChemistryYear four(MSci students)Core Chemistry ResearchProjectOptional AdvancedBiocatalysis,Biosynthesis andChemical Biology Advanced PhysicalChemistry ContemporaryOrganic Synthesis ContemporaryPhysical Chemistry Enterprise forChemists Inorganic andMaterials Chemistry Medicines fromNature andPharmaceuticalProcess Chemistry Nucleic Acidsand BioorganicMechanism MolecularInteractions andSupramolecularAssembly Compulsory for students not offering A level mathematics (or equivalent); optional for students offering A level mathematics(or equivalent).Modules may change, for example due to curriculum developments.
