Chemistry is the central science that makes our modern everyday lives possible. Chemical engineering delves into how chemical reactions can be scaled up for industrial manufacturing. This predominantly chemistry based degree gives you the chance to specialise as a chemist while also understanding the language of chemical engineers, setting yourself up for career opportunities in a wide range of industries that rely upon the ability to understand both disciplines.
Designed with a four-way split between organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry, this course also focuses on problem-solving and logical reasoning. Plus, our academics are all educated to doctoral level in their subjects and involved in forward-thinking research.
In our chemical sciences labs you’ll have the chance to learn using the kind of instruments used in industry. And with an optional work placement in Year 3, you’ll find everything in place to help you gear your study towards boosting your employability.
Example modules
• Inorganic Chemistry • Organic Chemistry • Physical Chemistry • Chemical Engineering
Your future
As a graduate of this course, you may consider a career in a wide range of areas, including chemical manufacturing, environmental consultancy, nuclear engineering, scale-up and plant design, process plant trouble shooting, oil and gas, water, energy, food, research and development, patent law and teaching.
Previous graduates from courses in the subject area of Chemistry have gone on to roles such as Analyst at ALS Environmental, Analytical Scientist at Sequani, Microbiological Analyst at Microsearch Laboratories Ltd, QC Analyst at Ernest Jackson & Co Ltd and Operations and Technical Support Assistant at National Nuclear Laboratory.***
