About the course

The Masters in Chemistry will extend your depth and breadth of knowledge in all branches of chemistry, suitable for a professional chemist capable of conducting research.

　　You will benefit from our links with industrial scientists, often from pharmaceutical companies, who regularly visit the School of Chemistry to give presentations. You will undertake a research project embedded within one of our internationally-leading research groups, and supplemented by specialist lecture courses. The School of Chemistry is a member of ScotCHEM, which brings together seven universities in Scotland. ScotCHEM is committed to excellence and to providing the highest quality postgraduate education and researcher experience. The school has an Athena Swan Bronze Award, demonstrating the school’s commitment to supporting women in scientific studies and careers, and to improving the working environment for all. You will develop transferable skills that will improve your career prospects, such as project management, team-working, advanced data analysis, problem-solving, preparing and presenting oral and poster presentations, critical evaluation of scientific literature, advanced laboratory and computing skills, and how to effectively communicate with different audiences. Our Masters programme provides an excellent foundation for any kind of career of scientific leadership in academia and industry. From June to August, you will undertake a 12-week research project which will provide practical application and consolidation of earlier work and enhance your ability to do independent work and present results effectively.

　　Career opportunities include the chemical or pharmaceutical industry, from bench work and instrumentation to regulatory affairs, health & safety, and intellectual property/patents.
