**Course Overview**
- On our BSc (Hons) Chemistry (Foundation Entry) course we’ll give you an introduction to all the traditional elements of physical, organic, inorganic, analytical and ‘green’ chemistry as well as a range of practical laboratory skills. During your foundation year you’ll build your confidence and become an independent learner.
- You’ll get a solid grounding in scientific knowledge and learn a wide range of practical laboratory skills and techniques.
- Foundation entry degree courses like this one are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree but you don’t have the qualifications needed to directly enter the full honours degree programme.
- During the foundation year we’ll equip you with the essential knowledge and understanding of theoretical and practical science skills you’ll need to succeed at degree level.
**Why study with us**
- Bachelor of Science with Honours in Chemistry (Foundation Entry) is ranked 1st in the North West with 88% of students in graduate-level work or further study after graduating (Guardian University Guide 2021).
- You’ll get an insight into ‘green chemistry’ and how the chemical industry is adopting revolutionary processes which are more environmentally friendly.
