Our courses combine modern, practical chemistry with core theory. You’ll explore topics including energy and fuel cells, advanced materials, natural products and advanced analytical techniques.

You can also choose to complete a Professional Training placement, with opportunities available among leading chemical companies in the UK and further afield. You can apply to study for either a BSc or an MChem (Master of Chemistry).

The MChem builds on the BSc course with a masters year and is a direct route to a masters qualification. On an MChem, you’ll spend a year doing research with an industry partner before returning for a final year of masters-level modules. Depending on your progress, you may have the option to switch to a BSc or MChem during your studies.

Our graduates are successful, not only in the industrial sector but also in finance, government and education. Graduates over the last few years have secured roles such as: 

• Analytical Chemist, Dextra Laboratories
• Chemistry Teacher, Tormead School
• Polymer Technologist, Plascoat Systems
• Research Technician, Battelle
• Research Technician, Biointeractions
• Scientist, Defence Science and Technology Laboratory.
