Develop a thorough understanding of core chemistry and unleash your management potential on this four-year course. During your first two years, you'll examine fundamental topics across inorganic, organic, physical, analytical, synthetic and computational chemistry, through interdisciplinary modules. You'll complement this work by building extensive laboratory experience. You'll learn to synthesise chemicals and study chemical systems through experimental measurements and computational models. Your third year provides opportunities to tailor your degree towards your own interest across a series of advanced topics. You'll explore emergent ‘industry 4.0’ approaches and technologies such as rapid prototyping, 3D printing, electronics and machine learning, and apply your skills to an independent research project. Your final year will be spent with the Imperial Business School. Various business-related modules and group project work will deepen your knowledge of the management and finance of business organisations, in turn preparing you for future leadership roles. **Professional accreditation** This degree is professionally accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC).
