Chemistry with Industrial Placement - MSci

University of Aberdeen

This programme combines the knowledge and practical experience you gain from our four-year BSc programme and adds a full, one-year placement within industry, giving you invaluable experience and enhancing your chemistry knowledge and employability.This degree programme has the same core chemistry content as the BSc Chemistry for the first three years with an additional course in the third year to help you prepare your applications for placements and prepare for working in industry.Your placement can be done in either the fourth or fifth year of your study and it can either be lab-based or non-lab based. During whichever year is not your placement year you will study our fourth year BSc courses.During your placement you will be monitored and supported by a University-based supervisor, and your year in industry will be assessed by written, oral and reflective components to ensure the necessary learning outcomes are met.Chemistry is often regarded as the central science, and a degree in chemistry provides a student with key skills that are broadly applicable both within and outside the discipline.Chemistry is also central to the transition to clean and sustainable energy and this programme will provide you with the foundation for a career in developing battery and fuel cell technology, carbon capture technologies and also the hydrogen economy.Students who study chemistry at university go on to work in a wide range of highly rewarding careers, tackling the problems we face today in areas such as drug discovery, environmental protection, forensics, food and agriculture as well as academic careers in teaching or cutting-edge research.
