Chemistry

University of Oxford

About the course

The Chemistry course at Oxford focuses on the study of matter at the atomic and molecular level. Key areas of study include synthesis, structure, reaction mechanisms, properties, analysis, and transformations of materials.

The program is structured as a four-year MChem degree, taught and examined as an integrated whole rather than in separate modules. This approach allows for exploration of interconnections within the subject. While all students cover core material, there are opportunities for specialization in later years. The curriculum encompasses a range of sub-disciplines including synthesis and catalysis, medicinal and biological chemistry, sustainable energy, advanced materials, innovative measurement, and theoretical and computational chemistry.
