The principles and application of modern chemistry underpin many important UK industries. The broad base of this course allows students to take up careers in all areas of chemical science as well as non-chemistry careers.
This degree will provide a solid understanding of chemistry and will also teach how modern techniques in computational chemistry and data analysis can be put to optimal use to solve problems in chemistry encompassing in-silico drug development, materials design, and the analysis of large data sets.
