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.
