Description

  • Type

    Bachelor's degree

  • Duration

    4 Years

This course gives you the opportunity to combine your love of chemistry with an interest in business. As well as gaining a broad education in chemistry, you will study management topics taught by the School of Management. You’ll develop an understanding of the social, legal and economic implications of the decisions that managers in chemical and related industries are required to make. During the course, you’ll gain an understanding of the theories of chemical behaviour and how they are applied. You will also develop skills in experimental chemistry and in designing experiments to test hypotheses.

You can specialise in a particular field through optional chemistry and management units and a final year project. You’ll draw upon the expertise of academics in both the School of Management and Department of Chemistry, and could even contribute to the world-leading research being carried out. There will also be opportunities for you to put your chemistry knowledge into practice in research laboratories and other professional environments outside the University, such as public engagement events and work in schools.

Our chemistry degrees have the same core units in the first year giving you the flexibility to switch courses.

About this course

Gain a broad education in chemistry and the business environment in which it is used. You’ll be prepared for a career in scientific or management areas.
Teaching
You’ll learn from academics with expertise in all branches of chemistry, including organic, inorganic, physical and computational chemistry. Their international collaborations and research activities feed into undergraduate teaching and contribute to your learning experience.

Facilities
You’ll learn core experimental skills in our well-equipped undergraduate teaching laboratories. You can also access our Material and Chemical Characterisation facility (MC²) to familiarise yourself with spectroscopy and other techniques.

You'll receive a free lab coat and safety glasses to use throughout your course when you start.

A wealth of career opportunities are open to you as a chemistry graduate. You’ll develop the skills and knowledge to work in technical areas or scientific research and development in materials, pharmaceuticals, energy and the environment. You’ll also be well suited to broader roles in education, scientific publishing, administration, banking and finance.

Many of our graduates choose to go on to postgraduate study in preparation for academic or industry-based research careers.

Your application, especially your personal statement, should demonstrate your enthusiasm for studying your chosen degree. This might include relevant reading, voluntary or work experience, areas of interest from your current studies or other relevant extra-curricular and co-curricular activities.
