Bachelor of Science in Chemistry

Program Overview

Imagine being able to understand and even shape the world around you - chemistry allows you to do just that! Chemistry is the central science tackling everything from the biggest global challenges to the smallest details of daily life. How can we create life-changing medicines to fight disease? How can we combat climate change through clean, sustainable energy? How can we feed a growing population without exhausting our planet’s resources? Chemistry answers these crucial questions and more.

By studying a BSc degree in Chemistry, you will discover how atoms bond, why reactions happen and how to make new substances for a whole range of industrially, medically and environmentally important processes. You’ll immerse yourself in hands-on experiments, explore molecular structures and master analytical techniques, including spectroscopy and chromatography, to uncover the secrets of matter. Whether you're synthesising new compounds in a laboratory or modelling chemical reactions on a computer, chemistry offers a dynamic mix of theory and practice that empowers you to solve real-world problems and develop innovations that change lives.

All of our BSc degrees offer the option of an additional Year in Industry that provides career-boosting experience and insight into how chemistry drives the modern world.
