About

Do you want to be involved in making positive changes to the world? This could be the course for you. Chemistry affects every aspect of our lives, from clothing to medicines that help millions of people. It plays an integral part in solving global challenges such as food security, plastic pollution, developing alternative energies, and synthesising new medicines and materials.

Chemistry at Kingston offers knowledge and skills relevant to industry, research and teaching. You'll gain practical skills in our laboratories, broaden your knowledge of environmental chemistry, and develop the academic and professional skills valued by employers.

You will have your own individual final year project, which enables you to investigate a chosen area in depth.

We have recently updated our modules to enhance student-centred teaching and align course content with industry needs, helping you become a future-proof graduate.
