Chemistry BSc(Hons)
Our Chemistry BSc(Hons) combines an in-depth knowledge of traditional chemistry with specialist and transferable skills. Theoretical lectures, interactive workshops and practical laboratory classes lead you from fundamental concepts to advanced specialist options in the final year. One sixth of each year is an application of chemistry chosen by you (for example, geochemistry, biochemistry or informatics) to complement your interests and career options.
You gain hands-on experience of techniques including chromatography, spectroscopy and electro-analysis in specialist laboratories in our new Huxley building. Modern spectrometry and microscopy are also covered. Computer-based sessions using specialist chemistry software and our peer-assisted study scheme (PASS) further support your learning. Your progress is ensured using a variety of assessments and examinations with a focus on solving real-world problems. Feedback helps you develop as a chemist and self-evaluation activities and tutor-based support enhance your employability. We encourage you to develop your skills through a work placement year, supported by a dedicated tutor.
