Completing a chemistry degree

What happens once you have completed your chemistry studies? Recently graduated Alex Pashley shares his experiences

Let me set the scene for you: I’m suited up and draped in a gown that is more akin to a pair of curtains. I’ve got a hat with a tassel that refuses to stay put because apparently my unusually flat head prohibits optimal mortarboard placement. I’m clutching a piece of parchment that smells fusty, which is odd because it was probably only printed last week. And I’m very hot. This is the day I celebrate four successful years of chemistry at university.

Depending on where you are in your post-16 course, you may be starting to think about what subject or subjects to study at university and where to study them. Indeed, you may not know yet if you want to go to university at all. There are many choices available to you, one of which is to take a Master of Chemistry (MChem) degree: a four-year chemistry programme with an emphasis on research.
