Chemistry courses at Southampton have been accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) for professional membership status.
BSc and MChem programmes are accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry. Recent graduates can apply to become an Associate Member of the RSC and can upgrade their membership to a Member once they have at least 3 years postgraduate experience.
As part of my degree programme, I completed a 13-month placement at the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, taking part in a major international research project into liquid hydrocarbon standards. The research I helped to conduct was the first of its kind in the world and will directly support industry in the UK. It was an amazing experience to work with incredibly talented scientists and I’ve been able to apply the skills I learnt in my fourth year research project.
