Chemistry, BSc (Hons)

Chemistry profoundly influences our daily lives, from the materials we create to the medicines we use, and is essential for addressing global challenges like climate change and disease eradication. Deciding between an MChem or BSc programme can be challenging, but guidance is available before and during your studies. Both courses share a common structure, allowing transfers in the first or second year. Our teaching, grounded in advanced chemical research, includes lectures, workshops, tutorials, and hands-on laboratory sessions. In later years, you can specialise in areas aligned with your interests, undertake an individual research project, and access state-of-the-art equipment such as NMR and X-ray facilities.The three-year degree provides a comprehensive foundation in chemistry, emphasising practical skills through topics like bonding, structure, and spectroscopy in Year 1; core areas like organic and inorganic chemistry in Year 2; and optional modules plus a research project in Year 3. Graduates often pursue careers in emerging industries, pharmaceuticals, research, and education. Course details may change, so verify information on the provider's website.
