Description:

The BSc in Chemistry will educate you in core areas of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, as well as the more specialised areas of environmental, materials and pharmaceutical chemistry. This broad-based course provides an excellent foundation for employment or for further study. On completion of the degree in chemistry, you will be able to: identify, formulate, analyse and solve chemistry problems; outline fundamental aspects of chemistry; design and carry out an experiment to test a hypothesis or theory in chemistry; prepare written laboratory reports that provide a description of the experiment, explain the experiment and the reasoning clearly, and provide an appropriate conclusion; and communicate effectively with the chemistry communities.

Many graduates work in industry, including microelectronics and pharmaceuticals, or in government laboratories. Others undertake further study in various specialised areas of chemistry.
