About this course

Enhanced by the opportunity for a Year’s Professional Placement for which students apply to nationally competitive year-long internships in the wide variety of professions open to our graduates
Includes, in the final year, a major six-month research project in our lab s
Designed to develop graduates for flexible careers that apply chemical skills to a wide and changing range of challenges.
New (2016) teaching laboratories and research facilities.

Recent graduates from our courses have started PhD’s in Chemistry at Oxford, Warwick, and Berkeley (California) and in Biotechnology at Lausanne (Switzerland). Others have been selected for graduate training programmes as

Markets Analyst, RBS
Technology Consultant, KPMG
Tax Associate, Grant Thornton
Media Analyst, Media Sense Communications
And begun training in:

Law (London)

Financial Management (London School of Economics)
Molecular & Life Science (Bristol).
Our Chemistry graduates are in high demand because employers recognise the wide range of skills that they possess. We train Chemists to think logically and apply mathematical and practical techniques to solve real problems. Our ambition is to produce graduates who have a wider vision of the applications of chemistry for the coming decades and who are equipped for flexible careers to adapt to the changing global and national challenges facing Chemistry.

Please note that A-level General Studies, Critical Thinking, Thinking Skills and Global Perspectives are not accepted by King's as one of your A-levels. However, if offered the grade achieved may be taken into account when considering whether or not to accept a candidate who has just fallen short of the conditions of their offer.

The parent Chemistry BSc course is accredited by the Royal Society for Chemistry, with research-enriched teaching delivered by internationally renowned scientists and researchers.
