Engage with world-leading chemistry research on this three-year course, designed to help you develop an interconnected understanding of core chemistry concepts. During your first two years, you'll examine fundamental topics across inorganic, organic, physical, analytical, synthetic and computational chemistry. You'll also advance your practical skills through an extensive laboratory programme. Through this work, you'll learn to synthesise chemicals and study chemical systems using experimental measurements and computational models. You'll receive training in measurement science, analytical chemistry and molecular modelling as you learn how to apply a large number of different experimental techniques. The third year offers you the flexibility to select from a range of advanced chemistry topics, enabling you to follow your own interests at the frontiers of the discipline. Your final year will include an introduction to emergent ‘industry 4.0’ approaches and technologies such as rapid prototyping, biohacking and machine learning. You'll then apply your research skills from the course to a supervised independent project. Teaching is primarily delivered at the South Kensington campus, and at state-of-the-art research facilities at our new Molecular Sciences Research Hub in White City.

**Professional accreditation**This degree is professionally accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). This accreditation is internationally respected in an increasingly global industry and graduate market. It will allow you to demonstrate that you’ve completed a high-quality degree programme that was designed to meet the needs of both students and their future employers.
