The main aims of this programme are to help you develop a broad and balanced appreciation of the core areas of chemistry: inorganic, organic, physical and analytical chemistry, as well as basic knowledge in macromolecular chemistry, colloids, solid-fluid and fluid-fluid interfaces, environmental chemistry, photochemistry and radiochemistry. You will possess knowledge and skills from which you can proceed to graduate employment or to further studies in chemistry or multi-disciplinary areas involving chemistry. By the end of the course, you will be able to demonstrate your knowledge by carrying out a research-based dissertation. The Department of Science will also encourage you to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme for a more diverse and holistic learning experience. By the end of the course, you will have the knowledge and skill-base from which you can proceed to graduate employment or to further your studies in chemistry or multi-disciplinary areas that involve chemistry.
The communication and academic skills programme complements students’ main course of study. It introduces them to writing and presenting as situated within academic contexts sensitive to specific disciplines and develops their competences for future careers.
The B.Sc.(Hons) focuses on a single area with a duration of three years. Students write a research-based dissertation or project in the final stages of their studies.
A pass at Advanced Level at Grade C or better in Chemistry and a pass at Intermediate Level at Grade C or better in either Physics or Pure Mathematics.
