Contemplating a PhD in UCL Chemistry?

By zccasle, on 26 March 2015

Brought to you by the Athena Swan committee in UCL Chemistry – promoting diversity in science.

Deciding whether to do a PhD can be a hard decision, as well as choosing the course and how to go about applying for one. However, it can be even more difficult if you are unaware of what it’s like or what else the experience can offer if you do end up studying towards one- it’s just like walking into the unknown…

During reading week, 14 students had the opportunity to hear about what it takes to apply for a PhD, the support mechanisms available to them if they decide to undertake one at UCL and what makes research in chemistry at UCL so unique and attractive. The 5 minute video below, premiered at the event, gives a little taster into the reality of researching in UCL chemistry and the added benefits of doing a PhD.

Please note: Student ALERT!- This video was made by UCL chemistry students starring UCL chemistry students ( subtitles included for the hard of hearing).

So why the sudden need to hold this event? In the chemistry department, the Athena Swan committee has been monitoring the experiences of students and staff during their time here in UCL. In the last survey, we had a total of 33 respondents all of whom were PhD students. We found that 80% of students felt their previous/ current experiences impacted on deciding whether they would continue a career in academia, with over half of the respondents only having an undergraduate or master’s degree, as opposed to other routes such as industrial placements or teaching positions. We therefore felt it was important to create a dialogue between us (the Athena Swan committee) and final year undergraduate students to help impact the next step towards an academic career.

The reading week event introduced students to the research focus of UCL lecturers in the fields of organic, inorganic, computational and physical chemistry. PhD students from each section shared how they landed where they are now and described their current experiences. Students were given time to ask questions and the feedback from the event has proven successful, inspiring us to deliver more of such events.

We are always willing and wanting to know the experiences of current students and postdocs to develop a diverse and inclusive environment for everyone. Please help us by filling in our 5 minute survey and be a part of the change you want to see:

Course overview

Chemistry is offered either as a three-year BSc or as a four-year MSci. The first two years of study are identical, so you can defer which to opt for until the end of your second year. We advise you to select the four-year MSci programme initially as this keeps more options open.

In the first year, all students will be exposed to the full breadth of chemistry with an emphasis on developing core chemical skills. You will also take modules in mathematics appropriate to your prior qualification, together with further optional modules.

In the second year, the three main themes of chemistry are again developed in individual modules, leaving you free to choose two options, which can be either chemical or non-chemical.

In the third year you will undertake more research focussed activities in the laboratory classes and also explore a current topic in the scientific literature, writing a review and presenting your work. In addition to the core modules in inorganic, organic and physical chemistry you will have scope to develop your own interests through the selection of chemistry and non-chemistry optional modules.

What this course will give you

Consistently regarded as one of the best Chemistry departments in the UK (ranked 4th in the UK by the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2023: Chemistry ), we offer you an excellent education with high standards of teaching.

You will benefit from our outstanding research profile as you are taught by lecturers who are experts in an array of chemistry-related fields.

The wide range of optional modules enables you to develop your interests both within and outside chemistry, giving you a broad skills and knowledge base to offer potential employers.

We offer access to state-of-the-art facilities, enhanced by our strong affiliation to other centres of excellence such as the London Centre for Nanotechnology.

Teaching and learning

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

Upon successful completion of 360 credits, you will be awarded a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry.

Please note that the list of modules given here is indicative. This information is published a long time in advance of enrolment and module content and availability is subject to change. Modules that are in use for the current academic year are linked for further information. Where no link is present, further information is not yet available.

Chemistry is offered either as a three-year BSc or a four-year MSci. The first two years are identical, so you can defer which to opt for until the end of your second year. We advise selecting the MSci programme initially as this keeps more options open.

In the first year, you will take several compulsory modules including Chemical Foundations. This serves to consolidate A level (or equivalent) Chemistry and generate an awareness of modern chemistry. You will also select one optional module and take a module in mathematics that is appropriate to your ability.

In the second year, the main themes of chemistry (Physical, Inorganic and Organic) are developed in compulsory modules, leaving you free to choose two options, one of which can be selected from options outside of chemistry.

In the third year you will have scope to develop your own interests with optional modules. Other compulsory modules include ‘Synthesis and Characterisation’ and ‘Instrumentation and Computation’ and a literature project.

Compulsory modules

Optional modules, your learning.

Your learning will combine lectures, practical classes, group workshops and online material, guided reading, and your own personal study.  In addition, you will attend small group tutorials which provide specialised support for the core modules. You will encounter several innovative blended learning experiences which ensure that the contact time we have with you is engaging, interactive and productive.

Typical contact hours with teaching staff for Chemistry degree programmes are ~20 hours per week. These hours will consist of lectures (typically 8 hours per week), tutorials and workshops (typically 4 hours per week) and laboratory classes (typically 8 hours per week). The exact number of contact hours and composition varies throughout the term and at different points during the degree programme. In addition to timetabled sessions students are expected to undertake approximately 15-20 hours of independent study per week.

Your learning will be assessed using a variety of methods including end-of-year examinations, laboratory reports, problem sheets, essays, posters , and presentations.

Accessibility

Details of the accessibility of UCL buildings can be obtained from AccessAble . Further information can also be obtained from the UCL Student Support and Wellbeing team .
