Chemistry with Mathematics

In the first two years of study, we will support you in learning the core concepts in the fundamental areas of inorganic, organic, physical and analytical chemistry, whilst developing your pure mathematical knowledge and skills to fully understand their use in a chemical context.

Designed to provide you with the specialist skills you will need as a professional, modern chemist, our chemistry course includes dedicated practical and professional development modules to enhance your employability.

In your second year, you'll refine your practical and professional abilities through extended problem-solving, report writing, effective communication, and teamwork. Building on your first-year mathematics foundation, you'll take two specialised mathematics modules to apply mathematical concepts to real-world chemical processes. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to customise your learning through optional modules, industry placements, or studying abroad.

In your final year you will complete your education as a scientist, developing a toolkit of chemistry and mathematical skills. To align your studies to your career aspiration, you can tailor your learning by choosing optional modules, including some topics at the forefront of modern chemical sciences research. You will also have the opportunity to unleash your creativity and undertake an individual independent research project and an in-depth literature review.
