**Discover the chemistry behind the complexity of life. We'll supply the expert tutors and facilities including mass spectrometry and microfluidic fabrication.**
- Here, you'll study the fundamentals of chemistry and biology so that you can appreciate the fascinating interface between the two. Our researchers are recognised for their expertise, which feeds straight into your course.
- 93% of our chemistry graduates are in work or further study within six months (UK domicile full-time first degree leavers; Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education survey for the academic year 2016/17, published by HESA 2018)
- Our industry-standard resources include mass spectrometry facilities, our own PET (Positron Emission Tomography) Research Centre, laser technology for elemental analysis and microfluidic fabrication capability
You’ll be taught and inspired by biochemists, chemists and biologists. All leaders in their fields – from researchers in medical imaging, metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, wound healing and cancer to experts in lab-on-a-chip miniaturised biochemistry.
The foundation year has been designed to give you the knowledge and skills for entry on to the degree.
