Program Description For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of York. A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects. Master of Chemistry (Honours) - Chemistry With a Year in York The University of York course structure is designed to give students the maximum amount of time before they have to commit themselves finally to a particular area of specialisation. The choice between MChem and BSc can be left until the end of Year 2 if students initially apply for the MChem degree. If you apply for the BSc their decision should also be made by the end of Year 2. In making the choice between BSc and MChem, students need to consider: how useful the additional MChem year will be in preparing them for their likely career whether it provides experiences and challenges that will be interesting and worthwhile Students who take the MChem courses are generally aiming for a scientific career, whereas students taking the BSc may be interested in a variety of possibilities, for example, teaching. York offers students three distinctively different programmes for the final year of the MChem degree. Students can opt to spend their final year of study: at York in a chemistry department at one of York's partner universities abroad or apply for paid and assessed industrial training
