Chemistry

About this programme

Chemistry is at the heart of breakthroughs in medicine, clean energy, materials, food production, and forensic science. From developing new pharmaceuticals to tackling climate change, chemists solve real-world problems that affect everyday life. At MChem level, you can take this further by developing advanced scientific independence, professional confidence, and clearer career direction. The MChem Chemistry degree at the University of Lincoln is designed for students who want to go beyond a standard undergraduate chemistry course and graduate with advanced scientific knowledge, practical laboratory expertise, and the confidence to pursue high-level careers or postgraduate research. A key strength of the course is the opportunity to build towards a substantial placement, research, or industry-facing final year, supported by guidance that helps students recognise their skills, prepare applications, and make informed decisions about where they want to go next. This integrated Master's degree combines core chemistry disciplines - organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical chemistry - with advanced research experience and specialist study. You'll learn how chemistry works in the real world through hands-on laboratory teaching, industry-relevant projects, and modern scientific techniques used across professional laboratories today. You can also explore short-course options across areas such as battery science, green and sustainable chemistry, advanced spectroscopy, catalysis, medicinal chemistry, materials, sensors, environmental chemistry, and method development.
