About the course

Chemistry plays an important role in our society. It is central to finding sustainable solutions to global problems. This includes developing new drugs and vaccines, researching clean energy resources, and feeding a growing population.

　　Fourth year research project

　　You can choose from a wide range of topics in chemistry for your research project, depending on your interests or career aspirations. This could be in green chemistry, medicinal chemistry, nanomaterials, spectroscopy, catalysis, photochemistry and much more. You’ll join one of our research groups to work on your chosen project. We offer more than 100 research projects from 40 different research groups. You will benefit from the active research and latest insight of these groups, as well as state of the art facilities and equipment.

　　You'll be taught by experts who will feed your curiosity for this exciting subject. You may even recognise some of our staff from the popular Periodic Videos YouTube channel.

　　Throughout your degree, you will cover the breadth of chemistry and gain experience in practical synthetic and analytical chemistry. Optional modules allow you to choose what you study. For example, you can choose to take optional modules in medicinal chemistry where you’ll research drug design and development. Or you can choose modules in green and sustainable chemistry that will teach you how chemistry can be used to tackle environmental challenges.

　　There is flexibility to transfer between most chemistry degrees during the first year. If you do not meet the MSci grades in your offer, but meet the BSc Chemistry grades, then you will automatically be offered a place for the BSc F100 degree. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
