Course Summary

Chemistry at Huddersfield has deep roots. Our teaching and research dates back to the 1840s, when we were a centre for colour chemistry, supporting the textile and dyeing industries in the area, so studying with us means you can get the benefit of all that tradition while setting your sights firmly on the future. * This course is accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry (https://www.rsc.org/Education/courses-and-careers/accredited-courses), providing you with industry-wide recognition regarding the quality of your qualification. * On top of getting a grounding in the core areas of organic, inorganic, analytical and physical chemistry, you’ll get the chance to explore more specialist options during your studies: * You could find yourself delving into medicinal chemistry or getting to grips with chemical engineering or forensic science. All helping you to tailor your degree to the kind of job you’d like to do after graduation. * The course is designed to help you gain knowledge of the fundamentals while developing your logical reasoning and imaginative problem-solving skills. You’ll be able to put all that into practice when you get one year’s research experience in an academic setting in Year 3. So if you’re fascinated by the idea of getting stuck into research for real, and gaining an edge that could help you kick start your career in a broad range of fields, this could be the ideal choice for you. * Choosing to study with us means you’ll be taught by academics in specialist areas of chemistry all educated to doctoral level in their subjects and involved in forward-thinking research. Professional links and accreditation: This course was last accredited in 2018 by the Royal Society of Chemistry (http://www.rsc.org/Education/courses-and-careers/accredited-courses) and for five years thereafter. This accreditation is reviewed on a regular basis.
