New medicines, new materials, new sources of energy – they can all change lives. And they’re all down to chemistry. The more we understand, the more we’ll be able to make our world a better, more sustainable place to live in.


At Sussex, we have a long history of excellence in both our teaching and research – from Nobel Prize winners to our strong links with the Sussex Drug Discovery Centre. You’ll learn from leading chemists whose world-changing research influences their teaching. You’ll join a friendly and supportive community of students and scientists in the School of Life Sciences.


From Year 1, you’ll get hands-on practical experience in the lab. By Year 3, you’ll have the opportunity to collect and analyse data from our many facilities. These including Mass Spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. On your course, you’ll:


  • study physical, organic and inorganic chemistry
  • undertake experimental chemistry and chemical analysis
  • develop skills in data acquisition and processing, programming, teamwork and time management.

When you graduate, you’re prepared for a variety of careers such as:


  • medicinal chemist
  • materials or environmental scientist
  • technology consultant
  • research and development chemist.

You could work for leading companies including GlaxoSmithKline, Deloitte or Johnson Matthey. You could also consider jobs in the NHS, science publishing or education. And with your data-handling and analytical skills, you could also develop a career outside of science.


In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to work as a member of one of our research teams during a summer research placement every year (subject to satisfactory performance). You’ll receive a stipend to cover living expenses. And in your integrated Masters year, you’ll develop advanced research skills by working alongside our chemists. All this prepares you for a future in scientific research or a variety of other careers.
