Chemistry with a Year in Industry

About this programme

Our Chemistry with a Year in Industry MSci will give you a strong theoretical and experimental understanding of chemistry, with the opportunity for a year’s professional placement in a major UK company to allow you to test your training, and assess your career choices, in the workplace. Our course is delivered within a research-enriched teaching context, transcending the traditional divisions of physical, organic and inorganic chemistry and integrating practical methods throughout. In your final year of the MSci, you’ll explore your interests with an extended research project in our state-of-the-art labs. The course is designed to train the next generation of articulate, flexible chemists for a wide variety of careers starting with chemical, biotech and pharmaceutical industries and extending to wide careers such as finance, law and media. Chemistry at King’s draws on the interface between the physical and life sciences, to explore new frontiers and deliver fundamental solutions for a sustainable and healthy society. Experts in everything from the chemistry of life to pharmaceutical sciences, green chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology and computational methods, our academics are fighting against antimicrobial resistance, improving chemotherapy treatments and finding new uses for enzymes in carbon capture and plastic recycling. Our Chemistry MSci with a Year in industry course integrates a comprehensive grounding in core chemistry principles with the skills and understanding to apply this in a broad range of contexts, drawing from active chemical and biomedical res
