Master Degrees in Chemistry provide students with advanced postgraduate training in different branches of the Chemical Sciences. Some programs are general degrees, covering a range of key topics. Others are more specialized, providing the opportunity to build on a broader undergraduate degree by focusing on a specific subject area such as Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Nanomaterials or Polymer Science.
Despite being a highly academic subject area, Chemistry has many professional and vocational applications. Postgraduates in the Chemical Sciences are well equipped for careers in practical fields such as drug development, human nutrition or medical research. Other, more exotic, career paths could include working on future technologies such as nanomaterials or chemical engineering solutions for exploration in extreme environments.
Professional chemists also work in professional roles with a surprising range of other organisations.
Popular careers with a Masters in Chemistry include:
- Education (including academic research),
- Scientific research & development,
- Chemical industries & manufacturing,
- Pharmaceutical industries & manufacturing.
