Course Overview

Accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry, our modern chemistry courses carry that vibrant and distinguished tradition. We cover the core areas of organic, inorganic, analytical, and physical chemistry and allow you to explore more specialist options during your studies. You could find yourself delving into medicinal chemistry or getting to grips with chemical engineering or forensic science, helping you tailor your degree to the job you'd like to do after graduation. Whichever options you choose, you'll be able to get a grounding in the fundamentals of chemistry while developing your logical reasoning and imaginative problem-solving skills. In our chemical sciences labs, youll have the opportunity to learn using the kind of instruments used in industry.
