Duration
4 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 from Mastering Entrepreneurship, Marketing Communication and Law for Managers, amongst others.
In the third year you will undertake a literature project and in the final year a chemical research project together with optional modules, allowing you to specialise in the field of chemistry of your choice

About this course
Consistently regarded as one of the best chemistry departments in the UK, we offer you an excellent education with high standards of teaching.
You will benefit from our outstanding research profile as you are taught by lecturers who are experts in a wide range of chemistry-related fields.
The MSci allows you to study more advanced topics and to work on an extended research project within one of our internationally renowned research groups.
We offer access to state-of-the-art facilities, enhanced by our strong affiliation with other centres of excellence such as the London Centre for Nanotechnology.
As a UCL Chemistry graduate you will have developed both discipline-based and highly sought after analytical skills, for example in logical thought and numeracy.
On completion of your degree you will have the obvious option of pursuing a career within the chemical industry. This is recognised as one of the most exciting and successful contributors to the UK economy, for example in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and nanotechnology sectors.
Many recent graduates have continued in research at universities including PhDs at UCL, Imperial, Oxford, Cambridge, Bristol, Edinburgh, Harvard, Manchester and NUS Singapore.\
Our graduates are in great demand in many other fields such as management, the financial sector, information technology, scientific journalism, patent law, the scientific civil service, and in education.
English Language at grade C or 5, plus Mathematics at grade B or 6. For UK-based students, a grade C or 5 or equivalent in a foreign language (other than Ancient Greek, Biblical Hebrew or Latin) is required.
