Chemists, with their ability to analyse and problem-solve have played a big part in shaping our world. Our teaching is research-led, so you will learn at the forefront of the subject, tackling genuine, cutting-edge scientific work. Solve contemporary problems with our leading academics and work in outstanding purpose-built laboratories to set yourself up for a career in a wide range of industries.
The Chemistry logic
Our world-leading staff teach chemistry in logical stages, in an approach that integrates the topics of organic, inorganic and physical chemistry. Research conducted by our academics continually shapes the content that they teach, so you’ll never be far from their findings. Part of the Department’s ethos is for all to act as sustainable chemists.
What to expect
With our three-year BSc Hons Chemistry degree there’s an expansive introduction to the subject in Year 1, covering the fundamentals of atoms and molecules; organic and inorganic reactions; chemical thermodynamics and reaction kinetics. You will build on these topics during the rest of your degree while also developing an understanding of other areas of chemistry.
Year 2 brings you topics such as spectroscopy and electrochemistry as well as more advanced areas such as d-block metal chemistry, materials chemistry and quantum mechanics.
Year 3 offers you more flexibility and an exciting opportunity to undertake a major research project alongside our academics, postdoctoral staff and postgraduate students. These projects are directly connected to contemporary research questions that our academics are tackling and give you research experience that will be invaluable in your future career.
You may wish to transfer to one of our MChem programmes should you perform to a sufficiently high standard in your first two years.
Personal development
There will be lots of moments of discovery throughout your degree, whether that's working out the product of an unfamiliar chemical reaction or bringing out your passion for the environment by learning about cutting-edge sustainable chemistry. These small achievements add up to a wealth of transferable skills such as communication, critical thinking, data analysis, problem solving, teamwork and time management, all of which make you stand out to future employers.
