Study the mathematical techniques that are driving advances in modern chemistry – from the use of artificial intelligence to predict chemical reactions, to the discovery of new drugs through quantum mechanical modelling. On this degree you can combine your passion for chemistry with your talent for maths, studying both to an advanced level. By choosing complementary chemistry and maths options you can tailor your studies to suit your interests, gaining deeper insights into areas such as chemical databases, quantum chemistry, and computational modelling of chemical systems. You’ll gain analytical and statistical skills to impress employers in the chemical industries and beyond. You’ll learn chemistry in recently refurbished labs and have access to the University’s supercomputer. Your fourth-year independent research project will give you an opportunity to generate new knowledge at the interface of chemistry and maths, and there’s a good chance of getting your work published. We’re very proud of our Guardian University Guide results (2022) which show our commitment to your education. Chemistry at Southampton is 1st in the Russell Group for satisfaction with teaching and satisfaction with course. **Supporting your studies** You’ll join a supportive Chemistry community, with a personal academic tutor to provide any extra help you need, both academically and personally. In years one and two we limit small group tutorials to a maximum of five students, so you’ll have plenty of time and attention from your tutors. Between classes, the Chemistry department will be your ‘home’ on campus, where you can grab a coffee in the common room, catch up with friends and talk to staff. **Outstanding undergraduate laboratories** Take advantage of our recently refurbished labs, which opened in 2019 as part of a £12m investment in Chemistry’s facilities. You’ll study in bright and spacious modern laboratories using new, high-tech equipment – the same as you’ll find if you go on to work in the chemical industry. Each student has a laptop to use in the laboratory, for analysing data and writing laboratory reports. Gain hands-on practical experience with research-grade equipment such as NMR and IR spectrometers and X-ray diffractometers. You’ll make and analyse your own samples, with full support and training, rather than sending samples to be analysed or watching demonstrations. And your lab work will incorporate modern ‘green’ chemistry practices that are used in industry. **Learn about research as it happens** Southampton is a Russell Group university and our chemistry research is joint first in the UK for research intensity (Complete University Guide 2021). This means you’ll be taught by staff who are involved in the latest discoveries. Our academics are advancing battery technology, designing drugs for hard-to-treat cancers, and using digital modelling in the fight against COVID-19, to name just a few examples. They will share their passion with you, bringing the most up-to-date knowledge to your seminars and lectures. The breadth of their research activities gives you a wide choice of project topics. **Your career** Your skills will be sought after in areas such as analytical chemistry, molecular biology or computational chemistry, and in sectors including pharmaceutical research, chemical engineering and manufacturing. The transferable skills you gain, such as critical analysis, teamwork, project management and communication, can also open up careers outside chemistry. Our graduates have achieved success in sectors including finance, banking, accountancy, sales and marketing, management, patent law and teaching. This course is also excellent preparation for a PhD, which is the next step for over 40 per cent of our graduates.

This degree is made up of 75 per cent chemistry modules and 25 per cent mathematics modules. Core chemistry modules in the first and second year are shared across most of our degrees. This makes it easy to transfer if you decide the MChem Chemistry or one of our placement degrees is right for you. In years one and two core chemistry modules provide a solid foundation for more in-depth study in your third and fourth year. You’ll learn the fundamentals of organic, inorganic and physical chemistry, as well as practical lab techniques. You’ll also take the following mathematics modules: • Calculus I and II • Linear Algebra I Year three: You’ll undertake advanced practical chemistry modules and choose from a range of chemistry options which include: • Advanced Inorganic Chemistry • Atoms, Molecules and Spins: Quantum Mechanics in Chemistry and Spectroscopy • Medicinal Chemistry • Sustainable Chemistry For your mathematics studies, in semester one you’ll choose two modules from the following three: Hilbert Spaces, Optimisation or Analysis. In semester two you’ll choose two of the following: • Partial Differential Equations • Complex Analysis • Mathematical Biology • Nonlinear Optimisation • Introduction to Python Year four: You’ll undertake an advanced research project that integrates chemistry and maths in an area that interests you. In addition, you can continue to tailor your degree by taking chemistry optional modules and a mathematics module from a range including: • Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Chemistry • Advanced Spectroscopy and Applications • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy • Principles, Techniques and Energy Applications of Electrochemistry • Stereoselective Reaction • Integral Transforms • Complex Analysis • Mathematical Biology • Nonlinear Optimisation • Introduction to Python For a full list of modules, please visit: https://www.southampton.ac.uk/courses/chemistry-with-maths-degree-mchem#modules.

There are written examinations at the end of each semester to test your knowledge and understanding of material presented in the lectures and workshops. The practical work is continuously assessed primarily through written reports. Project work is assessed by dissertation and oral examination together with a report on your relevant skills from your supervisor. A written literature review related to the project is also assessed. Coursework exercises based on the lecture material are set each week and feedback is provided promptly. In some cases coursework marks are used in calculating your overall mark for the particular module of study. However in most cases coursework is simply to give you an indication of your progress. The research project will be assessed via a variety of means including review of your laboratory notebook, your assessments of the risks and hazards of your work, written reports, oral presentations, the production of a dissertation, and an oral examination.
