Chemistry

Course Overview

Engage with world-leading chemistry research on this three-year course, designed to help you develop an interconnected understanding of core chemistry concepts.

During your first two years, you'll examine fundamental topics across inorganic, organic, physical, analytical, synthetic, and computational chemistry.

You'll also advance your practical skills through an extensive laboratory program. Through this work, you'll learn to synthesize chemicals and study chemical systems using experimental measurements and computational models.

You'll receive training in measurement science, analytical chemistry, and molecular modeling as you learn how to apply a large number of different experimental techniques.

The third year offers you the flexibility to select from a range of advanced chemistry topics, enabling you to follow your own interests at the frontiers of the discipline.

Your final year will include an introduction to emergent ‘industry 4.0’ approaches and technologies such as rapid prototyping, biohacking, and machine learning.

You'll then apply your research skills from the course to a supervised independent project.

Teaching is primarily delivered at the South Kensington campus, and at state-of-the-art research facilities at our new Molecular Sciences Research Hub in White City.
