Chemistry

An undergraduate chemistry degree allows students to explore the composition, structure, properties, and transformations of matter, and understand how these principles can be applied across science and industry. It provides a strong foundation in core chemical disciplines while offering opportunities to specialise in areas such as analytical chemistry, organic synthesis, materials chemistry, and environmental chemistry.

The programme offers the opportunity to study core subjects including organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry, spectroscopy, chemical kinetics, and thermodynamics. Students also gain practical experience through laboratory experiments, research projects, and the use of advanced instrumentation, developing technical skills in chemical analysis and problem-solving.

Why study Undegraduate Degree in Chemistry?

Studying chemistry at undergraduate level is a chance to combine scientific theory with experimental practice, preparing graduates for careers in pharmaceuticals, materials science, environmental analysis, and chemical manufacturing. Career opportunities also include roles in research, quality control, and education, with the option to progress to postgraduate study or professional scientific accreditation.
