Our Chemistry with a Year in Industry BSc equips you with the in-demand skills to make a real impact on the world. You'll gain deep knowledge and hands-on laboratory experience across all areas of chemistry and biomedicine. Plus, a year-long professional placement in a major UK company means you can directly apply your learning, gaining crucial skills and experience for your future career. Our unique interdisciplinary approach and strong links with King's world-class Health Faculties and hospitals will prepare you to tackle complex, real-world problems, opening the door to a range of future-focused careers. Our graduates pursue roles in the chemical, biotech, and pharmaceutical industries, but also in tech, finance, and even law, where their analytical and problem-solving skills are invaluable. Taught by leading scientists who are shaping the future of chemistry, our course provides rigorous training in core principles including physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry, plus the lab skills to apply your learning and understand the power of chemistry in solving challenges and driving innovation. You will also tackle an open-ended project, helping sharpen your essential career skills like project management, communication, and teamwork. You can also choose to study for our integrated Master’s course (MSci), adding a fifth year to your degree during which you’ll undertake a substantial project of your choice, tackling a real-world problem in the Department or King’s Health Faculties and hospitals, or even the Francis Crick Institute, a King’s partner and global leader in biomedical research. **Key benefits** - 8th in the UK for Chemistry (Times Higher Education, QS 2025 subject rankings). - Get a placement through the Department’s close links with major UK and international companies. - A unique curriculum designed to build well-rounded graduates with the flexibility to pursue a range of careers including in the growing areas of biotech and nanotechnology, chemical biology and biomedical research. - Explore emerging fields and cutting-edge innovations in chemistry through modules informed directly by our scientists' pioneering research. - 6th in the UK for producing the most employable graduates (Times Higher Education Graduate Employability rankings 2024/5).
