Our BSc course gives you a solid foundation in the major areas of chemistry. You'll learn about chemical technologies in the world around us, and graduate with the knowledge and skills you need to use and develop those technologies. Topics range from polymers and quantum chemistry to the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. You'll develop skills that employers in diverse fields are looking for, such as numeracy, critical thinking, teamwork and organisational skills. We'll give you a laboratory resource pack - which includes a lab coat, safety glasses and safety gloves - so that you can do practical work right from the start of your degree.
In year one, there are chemistry lectures, lab classes, and maths classes. For the maths classes, we take into consideration your highest maths qualification to ensure teaching is at the right level for you. The first year gives you the flexibility to study modules from subjects across the University. Popular choices include: Physical Principles for Chemistry (compulsory for students who don't have an A Level in physics), Chemistry in the World Around Us, and The Origin Of the Solar System. After the first year, all of your time is devoted to chemistry. You'll do more practical work as the course progresses, including a month-long group research project in your third year. By then, you'll be able to handle sensitive chemicals and conduct experiments over multiple days. You can register for the BSc and transfer to our four-year MChem course after your second year. To be eligible for the MChem, you'll need to achieve a minimum standard in second-year course assessments. |
