Course Overview

The many opportunities offered by this course will equip you to confidently and skillfully pursue your chosen career. You might work in the industry, research or education; you could choose to become a chemical engineer, research scientist, toxicologist, patent lawyer, analytical chemist, or technical writer. Many students go on to higher study after the first degree in chemistry, allowing them to specialize in an area of interest such as analytical, forensic, synthetic, or materials chemistry and eventually work in a wide range of other specialist roles. A Physics degree from Keele will prepare you for many different careers, which need not be directly related to physics. You could take up all sorts of roles in industry, management, and public services. You might work as a research scientist, medical physicist, software engineer, geophysicist, or radiation practitioner, or you might branch out and become a science writer, chartered accountant, patent lawyer, IT consultant, or air traffic, controller. Many graduates go on to study at the masters or doctorate level.
