Chemical physics is concerned with electrons, nuclei, atoms and molecules in all states of matter, and how they interact with their environment. This degree programme covers the area in which chemistry and physics overlap. You will learn how to understand the laws of physics so that you can apply the latest technologies to control molecules and make new materials.Chemistry at the University of Glasgow is ranked 6th in the UK (Complete University Guide 2021), and continues to meet and exceed student expectations, combining both teaching excellence and a supportive learning environment. This degree programme is professionally accredited by the Institute of Physics and recognised by the Royal Society of ChemistryYou’ll have the opportunity to take Chemical Physics as an MSci degree, which may include an additional placement year. This could be spent doing research in industry, for instance at a research institute like CERN or an academic laboratory. There is the opportunity to combine study in Chemistry with another subject, and it's possible to include a work placement, or spend part of your degree at a partner institution in Europe.Our graduates are employed in industry, commerce, government research and education.
