Chemistry with a Foundation Year

Overview
From the materials we make to the medicines we take; chemistry shapes our relationship with the world around us. Understanding how chemicals interact at a molecular level is not only fascinating, but also of critical importance in solving some of greatest challenges facing humanity, such as climate change and eradicating disease.

If you’re interested in chemistry but don’t meet the academic requirements to enter a degree programme, Chemistry with a Foundation Year is for you. The Foundation Year of our innovative course will fill the gaps in your knowledge and arm you with the skills you’ll need to progress onto our Chemistry degree.

Our cutting-edge research in chemical sciences underpins our teaching – through lectures, workshops, small group tutorials and practical laboratory sessions – ensuring your learning is at the forefront of scientific thought.

You’ll be hands-on in our modern teaching laboratory. The laboratory is light, spacious, and fully equipped with a range of analytical and spectroscopic instrumentation. Our state-of-the-art research equipment, such as our X-Ray and NMR suites and imaging facilities, will also be used to enhance your studies.

Complete the Foundation Year successfully, and you’ll be accepted onto one of our BSc or MChem Chemistry degree programmes which will give you the in-depth academic training you’ll need to become a professional chemist. The transferrable skills you’ll develop will also be beneficial to a wide range of occupations, offering a breath of career opportunity.
