Chemistry is a central science that’s at the core of everything we can see, smell, taste and touch around us. From energy to the environment, groundbreaking medicine to cleaning products, chemistry is integral to all aspects of our life, which puts chemical scientists at the forefront of delivering invaluable solutions to global challenges such as climate change, sustainability and health. The diverse nature of this field – and the widely transferable skills like teamwork and data analysis you’ll develop along the way – means chemistry graduates will always be highly sought after across a wide range of industries worldwide. Studying a chemistry degree at Leeds will teach you the fundamental concepts of the field alongside a variety of optional modules available, so you can tailor your degree to what really interests you the most. You’ll also be taught by expert academics, with the unique opportunity to get involved in real-world research happening in the University. Practical work features heavily in this course. As such, you’ll have access to a range of facilities right here on campus including specialist teaching laboratories and research facilities with the latest equipment for synthetic, physical and analytical chemistry to ensure you have the best grounding to head out into your professional career. **Chemistry with AI: Shaping the Future of Science** Now, with the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the way we explore and innovate in chemistry is evolving faster than ever before. At Leeds, we’re facing these innovations head on with this course. This course uniquely integrates foundational chemistry with cutting-edge AI and machine learning, equipping you with all the tools you’ll need to revolutionise this field. **Study abroad year** This programme gives you the opportunity to undertake a study abroad year as part of your course.
