Chemistry with Molecular Physics

If you're studying chemistry, mathematics and physics and enjoy how they intersect, this course will teach you to apply the skills and content from all three disciplines.

You'll gain a thorough understanding of the foundations that underpin organic, inorganic and physical chemistry through lectures, workshops and labs, and explore this through the lens of molecular physics.

You can choose modules from a range of specialist research areas, including molecular imaging, nanomaterials and robot chemistry, and complete a research project in an area of your interest.

This work will strengthen your knowledge of the physical and mathematical background for mastering physical methods of modern chemistry.

Extensive laboratory experience will also help you gain confidence in applying a large number of different experimental techniques.

The molecular physics specialism is in high demand in research and the commercial world, and this course prepares you to apply it to both.

With a focus on lab experience, you'll graduate with the practical, analytical and theoretical skills required to work in a range of fields. These include pharmaceuticals, data science, industrial development, and finance.
