Chemistry is central to solving humanity's most pressing problems - climate change, renewable energy, sustainable materials, and eliminating hunger and disease. Our chemistry degrees help develop the practical, analytical, numerical, and logical reasoning skills you need to help solve these global challenges – and also offer an exciting route into a wide range of future career paths. In this degree, you will undertake a one-year-long Industrial Placement (in the UK or overseas), performing research at a project partner site, away from the university. This will give you invaluable experience of research in the real-world – offering valuable networking opportunities, supporting your ongoing scientific development, and giving you a new insight into how chemists impact on society. This course is accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry, subject to passing required modules. Through Chemistry we can tackle the energy crisis, discover new medicines or develop new materials for 21st century needs, from polymers for drug delivery to more efficient batteries. Our flexible undergraduate Chemistry degree is delivered by one of the UK's top Chemistry departments, which is ranked highly for both teaching and research. It provides a comprehensive programme of study to prepare you for a lab-based scientific career – but also helps build the practical, numeracy, logical and analytical skills that are valued by top graduate recruiters. Years One and Two will set you up with a solid foundation in state-of-the-art chemistry. Here, you will build the experimental skills and theoretical knowledge across the core branches of modern chemistry, and learn how chemical scientists understand and shape the material world around us. If you are thinking about going into research or industry, this course will give you the opportunity to explore both options and find out what is right for you. This degree merges extensive study at Warwick with a one-year-long Industrial Placement, giving you an opportunity to apply your understanding in a real-world setting. Supported by our Student Opportunity (Careers) team, you will be fully involved in and responsible for finding a placement. This ensures you are selecting a field that interests you, suits your strengths, and enhances your career prospects. Your industrial supervisor will run your placement, which they will design to be of maximum benefit to both you and the company. They will also ensure it encompasses a wide variety of experiences.
