Course programme

Year 1

As a first year BSc Chemistry student you will study a set of core topics that are essential to your developing knowledge irrespective of the area that you eventually decide to specialise in.

Two optional modules from chemistry or another subject professionally/academically related to chemistry are taken. Normally one is taken in each semester.

Transfer opportunities for related courses are available at the end of the year, subject to you fulfilling specific performance criteria. Please refer to Progression rules and transfer opportunities in the programme overview tab.

Physics options available to you in Year 1 may include Introduction to Photonics, Physics of the solar system and Introduction to the Nanoworld. You also have a choice of language modules (both 15 and 30 CP) in Year 1.

Semester One

Modules outside chemistry (up to 15CP, 7.5 ECTS) may be taken in each semester. Options in mathematics, physics, biology are commonly available. More details of what is available can be obtained from the faculty undergraduate office.
