Course summary

Overview Chemistry, often referred to as the central scientific discipline, has a far-reaching impact across complementary fields. From the sub-atomic particles and quantum science that underpin physics, atoms and molecules that build both commodity and high-technology materials, to molecules that build, sustain and heal life itself, and everything around us. It’s all chemistry! The BSc Chemistry course will cover all these core areas, and you’ll also be able to select optional topics that match your interests, for example synthetic and medicinal chemistry, materials and catalysis, analytical, biological and physical chemistry. Topics are brought together to introduce modern-day challenges that chemists are addressing, such as green and clean chemistry, sustainability, data processing and analytics. Our world-leading, cutting-edge research and researchers underpin our degree programme, and you’ll experience research in advanced practical and spectroscopy sessions and work on a project. Our RSC-accredited BSc degree equips graduates with theoretical and experimental skills and combines theory and practical work through state-of-the-art laboratories and instruments, and dedicated lecturers and tutors. This is a flexible course that allows you to choose between an MChem or a BSc Chemistry course. If you’re unsure which course is right for you, don’t worry. You’ll be given advice before you begin studying and while you’re here. You can transfer between the MChem and BSc in your first or second year. Our graduates secure top positions in almost every conceivable sector – from research, operational, and management roles in leading chemical and pharmaceutical companies, to more wide-ranging roles, including as international patent attorney, entrepreneur, data-scientist, police forensic scientist, clinical trial coordinator, and cosmetic chemist.
