Chemistry

Few disciplines are as stimulating, exciting and fast-moving as chemistry.

96% of our undergraduates and 100% of our postgraduate research students are in employment or further study (Graduate Outcomes 2025, HESA).

As a student of chemistry, you’ll seek answers to some of life's most fundamental questions. You’ll learn about the latest advances in inorganic, organic, analytical, physical, computational, forensic and medicinal chemistry, and you’ll harness the power of new technologies through our Royal Society of Chemistry accredited courses.

The lecturers go above and beyond for students. There is an open office policy, which enables students to contact teaching staff at any time. This availability and readiness to support students is impressive.

Surrey has great connections with placement providers all over the world, and I’m really excited to be spending next year in Italy for my Professional Training placement.
