    Course Summary

    The University of Aberdeen’s MChem in Oil and Gas Chemistry is a 5 year program that can be entered into from year one, or as an option after completing three years of the Oil and Gas Chemistry BSc. It trains students to be geochemists, involved in oil and gas exploration, Material Scientists creating new industrial components, analytical chemists and environmental chemists monitoring quality and environmental impact, and many others.

    You’ll study chemistry, physics, geology and environmental science before branching off into project and research work in the latter years of the program.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
