Chemistry

This degree offers a flexible route into chemical sciences, providing a foundation for further academic study and research or direct entry into a range of industries. Students study core chemistry while choosing among degree routes that share a common curriculum in the early years. That shared start means the decision about specialisation can wait. Teaching takes place in research-active departments with access to specialist facilities, and industry links bring current developments into the curriculum. Assessment includes examinations, laboratory reports and coursework that build practical and analytical skills. Students gain hands-on confidence with instruments and techniques used in modern laboratories. A placement year or year abroad can extend the degree. Graduates move into laboratory and analytical roles, technical industries and commerce, or continue to doctoral research in chemistry.
