Foundation Year available

You can prepare for the full degree course if you do not have the appropriate qualifications for direct entry by undertaking our foundation course first.

Flexibility to transfer between courses

It is generally possible to transfer between the various chemistry degrees we offer in years 1-3. This is subject to satisfactory academic performance and completion of the required pre-requisite modules.

Additional course information

Our student community

ChemSoc is a student-run society with the aim of giving chemistry students the complete experience whilst at The University of Manchester. The year begins with the infamous lab coat pub crawl and concludes with a fantastic annual ball! In between ChemSoc hosts socials alongside other societies, allowing your inner passion for your subject to come out and show everyone that chemistry is the best subject.The society has two successful sports teams, football and netball, with the football team winning the league last year! Teams comprise of first years right through to PhD students, so you will be able to meet lots of new faces!

Besides the social side the society has reinvented its academic aspects; ChemSoc hosts research talks accessible to all students featuring our high level of research from Manchester. Finally, the society encourages students to think about their employability, and have worked closely with the Careers Service to run events throughout the year, such as a LinkedIn workshop.

Our blog

You can read about our students' experience in studying chemistry, work placement and study abroad diaries, as well as alumni profiles in our department blog.

Teaching and learning

Undergraduates have around 20 hours contact time per week and are expected to spend around 30 hours in private study. Your week will be made up of:

Lectures

Small group tutorials

Laboratory classes

Group work

Individual research projects

Computer-based tuition - A range of ancillary mathematics, data handling, presentation and IT skills, and computer based chemistry are taught on the dedicated computer cluster.

Workshops

PASS session - student-led peer-assisted study sessions where second and third year students help you to develop learning strategies and techniques.

Personalised learning support

Chemistry at Manchester offers a high level of learning support. You will have weekly tutorials in small groups of no more than 6.

You'll have three Academic Tutors, one each for Organic, Inorganic and Physical chemistry. You'll also be allocated a Personal Tutor to oversee your personal welfare - reflect on your academic and personal development, discuss future goals and agree action plans.

PASS (Peer Assisted Study Sessions) and Peer Mentoring

We are also proud of our innovative PASS (Peer Assisted Study Sessions) and Peer Mentoring scheme. The PASS scheme provides additional support in the area of the current week's tutorial. It is entirely voluntary and second, third and fourth-year students help first years to tackle problems defined by the content of the current tutorial. The emphasis is on showing students how to think about the problems, how to develop problem-solving skills and how to get the most from the educational resources available.

Additional Maths support

We offer additional Maths support to all our students. In Year 1 this is by means of a programme of online, self-directed study with weekly support clinics if you need additional support or advice.

Practical chemistry

Practical chemistry is important in all areas of the subject, and is a key part of all our programmes. Throughout your degree you'll carry out practical work in our modern well-equipped undergraduate laboratories, built to a high specification. Our practical courses are designed to provide experience of the wide range of chemical techniques for measurement and synthesis necessary for the study of modern chemistry. As well as providing the opportunity to do interesting chemistry our practical courses train students to work safely and effectively in the laboratory.

Coursework and assessment

Assessment is by a mixture of traditional examinations, coursework, laboratory practicals and workshops. Examinations take place in January and May each year, with around one third of the marks from continuous assessment. The first year is a simple pass/fail, but from then on a percentage of each year's assessment counts towards your final degree classification. If you are on a BSc course and have performed to the standard required for MChem, you have the opportunity to transfer from BSc to MChem at the end of Year 1 and the end of Year 2.

Theoretical Alchemy: The Golden Ratio Of Jabir

"..According to Jabir, metals were formed by differing impurities and concentrations of Sulfur and Mercury. Gold was the purest and most balanced or perfect combination of this primal pair.." - The Complete Idiot's Guide to Alchemy So yeah we have the sulfur and mercury theory of Jabir. You may ask, "what must be the amount of sulfur and mercury to be able to make gold?" That question was impossible to answer since there was no exact value set by Jabir. Until now. This text will try to present a probable solution to the question. The Periodic Table ------------------ "The periodic table is the most important chemistry reference there is. It arranges all the known elements in an informative array. Elements are arranged left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. Order generally coincides with increasing atomic mass." - <http://periodic.lanl.gov/what.htm> Periodic table is like a map to chemists. It tells them different information about elements - the atomic number, weight, properties, etc. Of course, the periodic table can also be useful to alchemists since older generation of alchemists indirectly influenced its creation. Meaning, there are traces of alchemy in the periodic table. "Rows in the periodic table are called periods. As one moves from left to right in a given period, the chemical properties of the elements slowly change. Columns in the periodic table are called groups. Elements in a given group in the periodic table share many similar chemical and physical properties. The link below will open a copy of the periodic table of elements in a new window. " <http://www.visionlearning.com/library/module_viewer.php?mid=52> Platinum = Gold + Silver, Establishing the Pattern Set By Alchemists -------------------------------------------------------------------- Alchemists believed platinum to be an amalgamation of gold and silver, thus its alchemical symbol. <http://www.rsc.org/chemsoc/visualelements/pages/alchemist/alc_platinum.html> In the periodic table, platinum (Pt) is element 78. To the right of platinum is gold (Au) which is element 79. On top of gold is silver (Ag) which is element 47. | xx | Ag | } component ___________ | Pt | Au | } component \/ product Pt = Au + Ag. Gold, following the pattern established by platinum --------------------------------------------------- In the periodic table, gold is element 79. To the right of gold is mercury which is element 80. On top of mercury, there is cadmium which is element 48. | xx | Cd | } component ___________ | Au | Hg | } component \/ product Au = Hg + Cd(?). Cadmium ------- Cadmium has 48 protons. Surprisingly, we can evenly divide the number of protons of cadmium by the number of protons of sulfur, which has 16 protons. 48/16 = 3. Thus, Cadmium is 3x the value of sulfur. Gold = Mercury + Sulfur ----------------------- Gold is one part Mercury and 3 parts Sulfur. | xx | 3S | } component ___________ | Au | Hg | } component \/ product /end - 10/10/10
