Course summary

What you will study: During your first two years, you’ll develop a broad understanding of chemistry, its methodology and some of its most intriguing applications. You’ll study a range of modules in topics such as computer modelling, materials, data analysis and visualisation alongside four fundamental core chemistry topics. In your final year, you will have the opportunity to specialise in a range of optional modules such as polymers or medicinal chemistry. You'll also complete a research project, bringing together all the practical, analytical and presentation skills you’ve developed. If you choose to complete an integrated masters degree your placement year will be lab-based and research-focused while you also complete distance learning. You will experience advanced techniques in chemistry and you’ll enhance your scientific communication skills. During your final year of both bachelor's and master's degrees, you'll be embedded in a research group, working alongside an academic to carry out independent research. Example topics include drug design, materials for pollution control, catalysis, biodegradable polymers, monitoring microplastics and investigating novel data storage devices. Professional recognitionBSc (Hons) - Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry for partially meeting the academic criteria for Chartered Chemist (CChem). MChem - Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry for fully meeting the academic criteria for Chartered Chemist (CChem). Foundation yearIf you don’t meet our entry requirements, you might still be able to apply for this degree with a Chemistry Foundation Year. This is an extra year of study to develop your skills and make it easier for you to get started at university. On successful completion of your foundation year, you’ll be ready to progress to the first year of your degree. To see what modules you’ll be studying, refer to the foundation tab in the 'Course structure' section. FacilitiesYou’ll carry out practical work with modern equipment in our recently refurbished laboratories. Our commitment to the development of your practical skills means you’ll spend a great deal of time using these facilities. For your final-year research project, you’ll work within our research laboratories alongside active researchers such as PhD students.
