Studying in a faculty The University has four faculties and each course leading to a degree is administered by one of these faculties. You will belong to the same faculty throughout your time with us and most of the subjects you study will be offered by schools or departments within this faculty. Admission to the MChem (Hons) Chemistry with Mathematics programme of study is through the Faculty of Science. The programme details of this course are provided by: School of Chemistry: The School of Chemistry offers excellent courses with desirable student to tutor ratios and modern teaching facilities. As a School we pride ourselves on our educational and research achievements and place particular emphasis on offering programmes that address the challenges of the twenty-first century. School of Mathematics and Statistics: The School of Mathematics & Statistics is a world class School both in teaching and research. We teach a wide range of basic and specialist courses in all branches of mathematical sciences. We are consistently placed within the top few universities in the UK (and top in Scotland) in the annual league tables and student satisfaction surveys; the Guardian University Guide (2013) ranked us second. Particular strengths that our degree programmes boast include: a broad coverage of the subject area; instruction in medium- to small-sized classes by leading specialists; a friendly but focused academic environment; a large degree of flexibility for students tailoring their own course; higher level specialist courses reflecting research interests of staff; vacation research placements for our best performing students. Distinctive features of this course You will specialise in Chemistry but also take modules in Mathematics. You will obtain the necessary skills and experience for a career in Chemistry, whether in industry, education or research. You will develop a broad base of chemical knowledge and understanding reinforced by extensive practical experience and familiarity with modern laboratory, instrumental and computational techniques. You will also get high-level general intellectual and scientific training, which allows many of our graduates to enter challenging careers in areas not directly related to chemistry. You can expect to engage with a number of specialist topics including for example Abstract Analysis, Fluid Dynamics, Group Theory, Solar Theory and the History of Mathematics. It may be possible to spend a semester or year studying abroad as part of this degree programme. Please see http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/studyabroad for details. Programme details You will be able to choose modules from our Module Catalogue which is published annually as module availability can change from year to year. As an Honours student studying for a “with” degree you will gain credits from two subject areas in your Honours years and no fewer than one-quarter of these credits can be taken in one of the two subject areas.
