Join a university ranked first in the UK for chemistry research (*THE* analysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning (UK top ten for Chemistry, Complete University Guide 2026). Guided by world-class experts, you will discover how chemistry shapes the world around us and develop your knowledge to prepare you to tackle some of the world's biggest problems, from climate change to drug discovery. Our MSci Chemistry with Study Abroad in a Modern Language course is suited to you if you want to deepen your understanding of the subject and broaden your experience by studying chemistry in a foreign language during your third year. You will spend your third year at a university in Europe and will be taught and assessed in the language of your host university. We currently have exchange links with universities in Germany, France and Spain. To find out more about studying abroad, visit the [Centre for Study Abroad.](https://www.bristol.ac.uk/centre-for-study-abroad/outbound/) Our students have used their final year projects to work on vital challenges in chemistry; they have helped to discover new catalysts that have the potential to reduce the environmental impacts of major chemical processes, identified and measured the sources of pollutants in our atmosphere, and engaged in organic chemistry projects related to drug discovery. Our alumni have established careers with a wide range of employers, including Teach First, GlaxoSmithKline, Deloitte LLP and HM Revenue and Customs. Our [Think Big international scholarships](https://www.bristol.ac.uk/international/fees-finance/scholarships/) for undergraduate and postgraduate students could help you fund your UK study at the University of Bristol.
