Chemistry with Mathematics: University of Southampton

Course overview

These Combined Honours courses offer a similar programme to the Single Honours MChem with two key differences. Firstly, the study units available to you outside your Chemistry courses will be in the area of a second subject specialisation, the so called 'with' part of your degree. Secondly, the final laboratory project is conducted in our research laboratories in Southampton

• Years three and four are hosted in Southampton, with different and complementary independent research projects in each year
• Each year has a small proportion of core chemistry courses, with extensive opportunities to specialise
• Combined degrees include modules in the “with” subject in years three and four

Course content
