  • Location

  • Duration

    3 Years

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
This programme is offered either as a three-year BSc or as a four-year MSci. The first two years of study are identical, so you can defer which to opt for until the end of your second year. We advise you to select the four-year MSci initially as this keeps more options open.
The chemistry content directly follows that of the single-subject Chemistry programme. You will cover the full range of chemistry core components, together with optional modules in chemistry and other options from outside the department.
The management component takes up around 25% of the whole programme. Compulsory half-credit modules include Foundations of Management, and Business in a Competitive Environment and in year three you will choose one optional module such as Mastering Entrepreneurship, Marketing Communications and Law for Managers, amongst others.
Further half-credit modules may be chosen from Statistical Methods and Computing, Communication of Scientific Ideas, Social and Business Psychology, Occupational Psychology, Operational Research, amongst others.
