**Course Overview**
- Look beyond standard Chemistry studies to a unique course that offers you the chance to learn the revolutionary sustainable practices behind today’s ‘Green Chemistry’.
- On our Chemistry degree course you’ll get to explore how the world works. Understanding the chemistry of materials means understanding the drugs that fight disease, the components that power modern tech, the pesticides that protect our crops and much more besides.
- It’s increasingly important that we also consider how our reliance on chemicals impacts our environment. As well as introducing you to the traditional elements of physical, inorganic, organic and analytical chemistry, we also place a strong emphasis on the new approaches in chemicals manufacture that have given rise to so-called ‘Green Chemistry’.
- With state-of-the-art facilities, we’re proud to offer what we believe is an unparalleled learning experience. So, when you graduate from the course, you’ll have both the theoretical knowledge and practical abilities you’ll need to become a professional and skilful chemist. You’ll be better prepared than most to understand the new environmentally friendly systems and processes the chemical industry is adopting – making you much more employable than most, too.
**Why study with us**
- Our Chemistry course is ranked 2nd in the UK - Guardian University Guide 2020.
- The latest DLHE 2016/17 results show that 100% of graduates were in employment, study or training within six months of finishing the course.
- Our optional sandwich year lets you put classroom learning into professional practice – gaining vital experience and radically enhancing your employability.
