Develop a strong foundation in core chemical concepts, underpinned by advanced mathematics, to explore cutting-edge topics in our Chemistry with Mathematics BSc. Guided by our nationally recognised educators and leading researchers, you’ll have access to specialist computational tools and research-grade instrumentation, opportunities for industry experience, and dedicated professional development and employability modules. You'll graduate equipped with the analytical, practical and professional skills that employers value in a wide range of industries.

Chemistry is the science which bridges the fundamental atomic building blocks of the universe to the complexity of the living world. The impact of chemistry on modern life ranges from the advanced materials powering our devices, to the sustainable production and re-use of resources.

The natural incorporation of mathematics into this programme will not only give you a breadth of knowledge, but more importantly will enable you to fully develop skills in problem solving, mathematical validation, logical arguments and abstraction, key for many scientific endeavours and solving some of the most pressing chemical challenges.

Whether you are considering postgraduate study or moving straight into a challenging career, you will graduate with a strong grounding in laboratory techniques, a suite of practical and professional employability skills and an awareness of the ethical implications and issues relating to environmental impact and sustainability. Graduates of this programme enter a wide range of professions, both in and out of the laboratory. Many also further their knowledge by undertaking further study at Master's level.

Roles that are related to your degree include:

Academic chemist

Analytical chemist

Chemical engineer

Environmental scientist

Material scientist

Nuclear engineer

Science teacher

Foundation year

Studying a Foundation Year, for whatever reason, offers an alternative route to Keele, and provides a unique opportunity to better prepare for your chosen degree. That extra year of study can improve your academic skills, expand your subject knowledge and, perhaps most importantly, build your confidence.

Duration of study

3 years or 4 years with international or placement year
