Description

  • Type

    Bachelor's degree

  • Location

    Telford

  • Duration

    4 Years

This course aims to:

Develop your skills and knowledge in the main areas of chemistry (organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry) in an integrated manner with selected areas of specialism such as pharmaceutical chemistry, forensic chemistry, polymer chemistry, environmental chemistry and selected aspects of industrial chemistry. In addition, if you choose to undertake a sandwich degree, the course will allow you to acquire technical skills in the workplace and enable you to integrate knowledge gained in the theoretical aspects of the course into the professional environment.
Build on the skills and knowledge above by providing the opportunity to specialise is selected aspects of organic, inorganic, physical or analytical chemistry at level 7, including a substantial year-long research project.
Produce a graduate who is “fit for purpose”, who satisfies the academic and professional requirements for associate membership of the Royal Society of Chemistry, who is ready for employment in the chemistry or a related industry, or who can progress to teaching, further study or research aspirations.

About this course

You will have studied what can perhaps be considered to be “the central science”. You will have an integrated and holistic knowledge of the main areas of chemistry, good practical skills, be literate, numerate, have high level of IT skills and be capable of logical, scientific, critical thinking and problem solving. You will have developed a great deal of autonomous decision making and research capability and you will be able to evidence a range of professional, personal transferable skills and be well versed with the concept of continuous professional development. These skills will make you well equipped for the workplace, be it in a chemistry environment or the wider world of work in general, or for further research if you so choose.
