Chemistry with Chemical Engineering BSc(Hons)
Your course
Course info
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.
Course length: 3yrs full-time 4yrs inc. placement yr Entry requirements: A Levels/BTEC/UCAS points BBC* at A Level including Chemistry and Mathematics/DMM in Applied Science combined with A Level Mathematics at grade C.**/112 inc. grade C in Chemistry and Maths at A Level.
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.
