To study chemistry is to study the so-called "central science" and to gain a rich understanding of the world around us. It is no wonder that the opportunities to apply chemical knowledge exist in so many sectors and beyond the laboratory.
The broad base of the Chemistry course and its emphasis on transferable skills will allow you to pursue careers in all areas of chemical science as well as non-chemistry careers such as teaching, management and accountancy. The MChem degree is particularly suitable for students intending to pursue careers in industrial research.
Loughborough's Department of Chemistry has excellent industry connections and a strong track record in graduate employability. Our emphasis on hands-on laboratory experience is combined with opportunities to develop a wide range of transferable skills, equipping you with the skill set you need to stand out in the competitive market for graduate jobs.
