Chemical physics is an interdisciplinary subject that cuts across two major fields of physical science.From the fundamental physics of individual atoms and molecules to soft and hard condensed matter physics. From dealing with matter from the molecules of life to the latest technological materials.A modern chemical physicist is equipped with the tools to make contributions to a sustainable, secure and healthy future for the coming generations, through the development of:* efficient renewable energy sources * smart materials and devices* targeted medicinal therapiesA chemical physics degree from our University provides the framework for understanding the properties of matter, from the fundamentals to the latest research. The degree focuses on the wide range of analytical and experimental skills necessary to practice the subject. It also provides insight into research through a final-year research project working at the cutting edge of the subject.
