Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Chemistry

Program Overview

Chemistry is the science which bridges the fundamental atomic building blocks of the universe to the complexity of the living world. The impact of chemistry on modern life ranges from the advanced materials powering our devices, to the sustainable production and re-use of resources, the key processes which influence our environment and climate, and the life-saving drugs essential to modern medicine.

Our Royal Society of Chemistry accredited programme explores the pivotal role chemistry plays in tackling global, economic and environmental challenges of the 21st century, threading sustainability and industrial chemistry through traditional chemical principles and theories. You will have opportunities for individual advanced project work, collaborative learning, work and educational placements, and to explore frontier topics guided by our world-leading researchers.

During your first two years of study, you will be taught the core concepts in the fundamental areas of inorganic, organic, physical and analytical chemistry. From the outset, you will explore how chemistry interfaces with biology, physics and environmental science.
Your learning will be supported through interactive teaching, workshops and small group activities, as well as frequent opportunities to practice key concepts in our state-of-the-art laboratories.

Throughout the programme you will have the opportunity to study topics of interest across chemistry, including some at the forefront of modern chemical sciences research. As our programmes share a common first year, should you wish to and have opted for the relevant second year modules, you will have the opportunity to transfer to our medicinal or materials chemistry degree.

One of the highlights of your degree is your third year independent research project, which can be aligned to your own interests and career goals. Rather than scripted laboratory work, you will collaborate with an academic member of staff to complete approximately 80 hours of project work, spread over both semesters.

You will also conduct an in-depth literature review, giving you the opportunity to delve into an area of your own personal interest which you may connect to your research project, or diversify into another area. These activities will allow you to focus and fully immerse yourself at the forefront of your field and apply your skills of scientific inquiry to make a tangible impact.
