Objectives
This course aims to provide you with a solid foundation in all major areas of chemistry and to bring you to the forefront of the latest developments. The material covered lies at the core of all of our degree programmes. In the first year, chemistry is taken as the principal subject - typically five lectures, six hours of laboratory instruction, and two hours of computer-aided learning per week, plus problem solving, and tutorials. You will have a free choice of first-year modules offered by other departments. In subsequent years, all your time is given to Chemistry.

*Distance learning option: This is a new pathway on to our Chemistry degrees, run in conjunction with The Open University. For the first two years, you'll study in your own time on an Open University distance learning course, allowing you to combine work with study. Successful completion of this component allows direct entry on to the second year of our full-time Chemistry degrees.
