About

Alfred Nobel invented dynamite. Marie Curie pioneered research on radioactivity. And Alice Ball developed the first successful treatment for leprosy. What will you discover?

Minimising the environmental impact of chemical processes and creating long-lasting materials for medicine are just a few of the exciting developments in recent chemistry. On BSc Chemistry, you’ll join like-minded students who are keen to tackle global challenges and make a valuable contribution to 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.

Choose your own pathway through this degree — add a year in industry or studying abroad, or carry out an additional year of advanced study to graduate with an MSci.

Professional recognition

This programme is accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry, giving graduates Associate Member status.
