Course summary
This three-year degree will feed your curiosity for both chemistry and physics. It is accredited by the Institute of Physics. You will develop your skills in practical and theoretical chemistry, data-analysis and problem-solving. Our graduates have gone on to work for leading companies such as Boots, Cancer Research UK, GlaxoSmithKline, HSBC, Intellectual Property Office, NHS and Unilever. You'll be taught by academic staff from the School of Chemistry and the School of Physics and Astronomy. You may recognise some of our staff from the popular Periodic Videos and Sixty Symbols YouTube channels. Optional modules on topics such as green chemistry and nanoscale in chemistry allow you to tailor your degree to a specialist field. This course will prepare you for a range of careers in the interdisciplinary field of chemistry and physics. The University of Nottingham is the second-most targeted university in the UK by leading employers (High Fliers' Graduate Market in 2023).
