Chemistry is often called the central science, connecting mathematics, physics, biology and medicine. Alfred Nobel invented dynamite. Marie Curie pioneered research on radioactivity. And Alice Ball developed the first successful treatment for leprosy. What will you discover? From minimising the environmental impact of chemical processes to developing durable materials for medicine, chemistry is driving some of today’s most exciting innovations. As a BSc Chemistry student, you’ll join a passionate community eager to tackle global challenges and make a real difference in society. Spectroscopy, quantum chemistry, and organic synthesis – these are just some of the modules you can study. You’ll thrive as you put knowledge into action in our modern facilities. Including our state-of-the-art laboratory and analytical suite. We’re at the forefront of research and teaching. Globally recognised and multi award-winning. Our course is also accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry, giving you the confidence that your education is high quality. Employability is important to us. We work closely with the careers team and regularly invite successful industry speakers. We also offer the opportunity for you to become a school rep, outreach ambassador, and join our chemistry society. Shape your own future with flexible options: add a year in industry, study abroad, or extend your studies to graduate with an MSci. Join us and be part of the next generation of chemists making a lasting impact on the world. This programme is accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry, giving graduates Associate Member status.
