About the course

This course includes a 9-12 month overseas placement during year three. Studying and working abroad allows you to experience a different culture, expand your network and develop your employability skills. This practical overseas experience will be a valuable addition to your CV when seeking graduate employment.

　　You will develop a solid understanding of the main areas of chemistry before focusing on and area that is interesting or important to you through a substantial research project worth half of the credits of your final year. Plus, you will spend many hours in our labs gaining hands-on experience and developing your research, mathematical and computational skills.

　　With more of an emphasis on research than our BSc degrees, backed up with analysis, interpretation and problem solving together with significant opportunities to develop transferrable professional skills, you can acquire all the attributes needed to be a self-sufficient working chemist.

　　The school is currently going through the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) re-accreditation process. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
