Chemistry helps shape the world around us – from the materials we use to the medicines we take. Understanding how chemicals interact at a molecular level is both fascinating and of critical importance to the well-being of an individual and the economy as a whole. The chemical industry is a UK manufacturing success story with a gross output of over £ 49 billion , generating a trade surplus of over £5.5 billion in 2008.
Start on your path towards a career in chemistry, or simply because you love the world of molecules, with the MChem degree in Chemistry. Our Chemistry MChem is accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry, a demonstration of the high quality of our course. The degree programme is a four-year course aimed at giving you a broad understanding of chemistry at an advanced level, with the opportunity to explore in depth specialised areas through optional modules. In each of the years you will study core inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, with practical experiments in associated laboratories. Training in laboratory skills is emphasised because chemistry has a strong practical component, whether it is in the synthesis of new compounds, characterisation of these compounds by spectroscopic methods or studying their properties.
Optional modules in the first three years allow you to explore chemical physics, biological chemistry and materials chemistry. A feature of the course in the fourth year is the year-long research project when you will carry out research at the forefront of chemistry. Research projects are a stimulating and rewarding element of the course, allowing you to experience what research is all about. Making a choice between an MChem or BSc course can be difficult, and if you are at all unsure which is right for you then you need not worry; transfer between the two courses is straightforward during the first two years because of a common underlying structure. Progression on the MChem Chemistry, like all courses at UEA, is based on academic merit. You will be taught by enthusiastic and highly approachable experts, many of them internationally acclaimed authorities in specific areas of chemical research; they deliver your lectures, run the problem sessions and labs.
Dr. Simon Lancaster
During your first week at UEA, our staff will welcome you and provide a full induction programme; we aim to help our students settle in as quickly as possible. At the School of Chemistry we believe in offering each student individual care and guidance.
On your arrival at UEA you will be assigned to an adviser who will provide both academic and pastoral guidance. You will normally have the same adviser throughout your degree. We maintain an ‘open door policy’ so that students can see their adviser (or other members of staff) at any mutually convenient time. Your adviser will guide you through your academic career and provide a sympathetic ear during difficult times. If you study abroad for a year you will also be assigned an adviser at your host institution.
The University has excellent provision of specialist support services. Whatever the issue, be it financial, personal, academic or administrative - the University’s Dean of Students Office and the Union of UEA Students’ support services have experienced and sympathetic people, support groups and advice centres to help you.

This module is in part integrated with CHE-1C1Y. The first half of the module brings together fundamental concepts associated with the bonding and structure of inorganic and organic materials, including atomic structure, electron configurations, ionic and covalent bonding, and intermolecular forces. The second half of the module builds on the bonding and structural ideas to explain the structure of the Periodic Table. Trends, comparisons and contrasts will be drawn between the elements of the s/p block metals, non-metals and the transition metals. Spectroscopic and other experimental techniques are employed.
Compatible with CHE 1C3Y, or a free-standing module with workload greater than average for 20 credits. The module introduces bonding and hybridisation, conjugation and aromaticity, mechanism and functional groups; principles which are elucidated in topics: electrophilic substitution and addition, organometallic nucleophiles, polar multiple bonds, enolate, Claisen, and Mannich reactions, the Strecker synthesis, stereochemistry (enantiomers and diastereoisomers), SN1/SN2 and E1/E2 reactions, and epoxidation / 1,2-addition to alkenes. Finally, synthesis (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, alkyl halides, ethers, amines, ketones, carboxylic acids) and bio-organic chemistry are introduced.
This module considers the way in which chemical systems, in the form of gases, liquids, solids and solutions, are described in terms of their energetics and dynamics. Topics include simple phase equilibria, the kinetic theory of gases, chemical kinetics and reaction mechanisms, thermodynamics in a chemical context, electrochemical cells, and acid base and redox equilibria. The module also includes a series of lectures on the principles of spectroscopy applied to chemical systems, i.e. how light interacts with matter. Content overlaps with PHAN1HE1.
Students taking this module are required to have an A Level in Chemistry. Aim: introduction to forensic chemistry, sample and data gathering and interpretation. Objective: to familiarize students with critical thinking and evaluation of evidence. Content: history of forensic science, microscopy, glass refractive index, introduction to pattern recognition, forensic statistics and QA chain of custody issues. Teaching and learning methods: lectures, practicals and mentor groups (pbl). The students will be presented with a hypothetical criminal case on the UEA campus and during the duration of the module they will investigate simulated evidence material which addresses the taught basic science. To further the discussions in the mentor groups the students will have to research the literature and use the gathered information in the final report concerning the investigation of the supplied questioned material. The case report will have to be presented and defended in a mock court situation. Learning outcome: understanding of the basic requirements for forensic thinking, QA, pattern recognition, forensic statistics and microscopy.

Disclaimer
Whilst the University will make every effort to offer the modules listed, changes may sometimes be made arising from the annual monitoring, review and update of modules and regular (five-yearly) review of course programmes. Where this activity leads to significant (but not minor) changes to programmes and their constituent modules, there will normally be prior consultation of students and others. It is also possible that the University may not be able to offer a module for reasons outside of its control, such as the illness of a member of staff or sabbatical leave.
