Chemistry at Queen Mary University of London - UCAS

Course summary

Queen Mary offers high quality training in both theoretical and practical chemistry. You’ll develop an advanced scientific understanding of the physical and chemical properties of matter, including the nature of atoms and molecules, their structure and composition, their reactions and the ways they are used in products and materials. In your first year, you’ll study the fundamentals of organic and inorganic chemistry, spectroscopy and states of matter. Later you’ll study physical and quantum chemistry, computational chemistry and organic synthesis. Chemistry is a hands-on subject and you’ll develop advanced practical skills through frequent lab work. During your final year, you’ll conduct your own research project, either laboratory or literature-based. Choose your own pathway through this degree — add a year in industry or studying abroad, or carry out an additional year of advanced study to graduate with an MSci.
