Course Summary

**Course Overview** - On our MChem Chemistry (Foundation Entry) course we’ll give you an introduction to all the traditional elements of physical, organic, inorganic, analytical and ‘green’ chemistry, as well as a range of practical laboratory skills. It provides the perfect stepping stone to an MChem, the established mainstream route to becoming a chemist in the UK. - You’ll get a solid grounding in scientific knowledge and learn a wide range of practical laboratory skills and techniques. An MChem is a highly respected qualification which the major employers of chemists – and the Royal Society of Chemistry – are looking for. - Foundation entry degree courses like this one are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree but you don’t have the qualifications needed to directly enter the full honours degree programme. - During the foundation year we’ll equip you with the essential knowledge and understanding of theoretical and practical science skills you’ll need to succeed at degree level. **Why study with us** - During your foundation year you’ll build your confidence and become an independent learner. You’ll get an insight into ‘green chemistry’ and how the chemical industry is adopting revolutionary processes which are more environmentally friendly. - Our laboratories feature state-of-the-art equipment, including mass spectrometers, NMRs and electron microscopes.
