Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Chemistry and Neuroscience with International or Placement Year

Program Overview

Develop expertise in two interesting scientific subjects on our Chemistry and Neuroscience BSc and acquire a range of transferable skills and that will prepare you for a range of career opportunities.

From the technology we use to how we treat illnesses, chemistry is essential to our modern life and offers a wide variety of career opportunities in many fields from pharmaceuticals and food technology to forensics and teaching. You will also consider the ways in which chemistry is applied to sustainable development and the environment and examine the political, social and economic impacts and explore topics like nuclear chemistry and energy, geochemistry, health and toxicology and green chemistry. Particular attention is paid to building your practical skills and you will have access to various types of research standard equipment you are likely to use within your career - such as ultra-violet visible spectroscopy which is used to follow the rate of reactions of molecules that contain chromophores.

Neuroscience is a vibrant and emerging discipline that explores the brain, from how it enables us to sense and move through our environment, to degeneration in health and in disease. With over 600 types of neurological conditions currently identified (NHS England), understanding how the brain and nervous system work is integral to the future of human health and well-being. You will explore a mixture of modules that will provide you with a grounding in basic biological techniques, an introduction to the core concepts of neuroscience and the practical skills required for a career within the field. You will take laboratory classes to develop practical, analytical, observational and interpretative skills.

Key themes within Neuroscience include how the brain develops, the mechanisms underlying learning and memory, how drugs affect the nervous system, the anatomy of the human and animal nervous systems, and how electrical activity in the brain works to control function.

You will gain a solid grounding in the underpinning of the theory of chemistry and build your multidisciplinary skills and knowledge that are used by Neuroscientists (typically research scientists) in their quest to design and carry out experiments to understand more about the brain and nervous system. Practical experience will be gained in Keele's state-of-the-art laboratories and you will have the opportunity to tailor your degree to your specific interests and careers aspirations by choosing from a range of optional modules in your final year.
