Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and Mathematics

Program Overview

Using the tools of advanced mathematics to understand the diversity and complexity of the chemical world is what really drives students on our Chemistry and Mathematics degrees.

On this programme you’ll study alongside single honours chemists and mathematicians who are learning the same concepts and reaching the same depth of knowledge as you. As you move through the programme you’ll have the opportunity to specialise in a range of topics in both areas of your course and vary the split between the two components to study the topics that interest you the most.

You’ll develop your mathematical skills in major branches such as pure maths, applied maths and statistics. A wide range of optional modules allows you to explore topics from dynamical systems to logic to coding theory. You’ll combine your mathematics knowledge with the study of chemistry to understand how and why molecules react and the methods of studying them. You can specialise in organic, inorganic or physical chemistry.

The programme will allow you to develop a range of sophisticated analytical and problem solving skills that are attractive to employers, including theoretical modelling, practical experimentation, computational programming and data analytics.

Mathematics will allow you to develop a sophisticated understanding of mathematical structures and principles while gaining a wide range of skills that are attractive to employers. Core modules will develop your knowledge of key topics such as linear algebra and calculus, while a wide range of optional modules will allow you to pursue areas from differential geometry to numerical analysis, combinatorics and nonlinear dynamics.

Course highlights

  • Explore the connections and interactions between chemistry and mathematics.
  • Our courses are shaped by our leading research in areas such as chemical biology, materials science, probability and financial mathematics, modern applied statistics and analysis.
  • There are lots of opportunities for you to work alongside our academics and get involved in the research happening in the Schools of Chemistry and Mathematics.
  • During your project work you will access specialist facilities, laboratories, modern facilities and computing equipments.
  • Our theoretical modules are supported by extensive practical sessions in the laboratory, allowing you to perform experiments that reinforce the material taught to you in the lectures.
  • Small tutorial groups are used to support the teaching, so you get regular feedback from the academic staff helping you solve any problems that you might have with a particular topic.
  • Benefit from our close links with organisations such as The Astbury Centre for Structural Molecular Biology, Leeds Institute for Data Analytics, Leeds Institute for Fluid Dynamics and the Alan Turing Institute.
