BSc Chemistry
-
Objectives
The BSc programme incorporates all the latest developments in modern chemical science and has a well-proven record of providing students with a high calibre qualification leading to a wide range of professional occupations or research degrees. In Years 1 and 2, you will cover the core chemistry training essential to a sound understanding of the subject and will then be able to choose from any number of specialisms, for example organometallics in synthesis, surface chemistry, polymers and new materials. Much of the final year is dedicated to your own research project. It is at this advanced stage of the degree that you will really start putting your Chemistry knowledge into practice.

Entry requirements
There are different entry qualifications for each programme. Some programmes require you to have a certain amount of knowledge in a subject before you begin the degree programme – this is called a ‘subject requirement’. Other programmes do not have any specific subject requirements. All programmes will, however, expect you to have reached a certain standard in your education and will ask you to achieve certain grades in your examinations. Most programmes have a standard offer so that you know in advance what you are likely to need. Please note that even if you have the minimum entry qualifications, you are not necessarily guaranteed a place on the degree programme.
