The BSc in Chemistry explores the science of molecules and materials and will give you a comprehensive grounding in theoretical and practical elements of chemistry.

Chemistry is central to modern life; it’s a vital science that can help better understand and create solutions to many of the challenges the world faces today and continues to make advances in areas including new materials, antibiotics, semiconductors and trace analysis. Our graduates are employed as chemists working in research, process development and analysis, as well as in management, marketing, environmental control, patents and finance.
