Chemistry BSc will provide you with a comprehensive theoretical and practical understanding of chemistry, preparing you for a professional life in the ever-changing environment of 21st century chemistry. To achieve these goals, this course integrates the teaching of chemistry foundations with the applications of chemistry using examples taken from the very broad range of chemical and biomedical research and practice at King’s.

The programme starts with the principles of physical, organic and inorganic chemistry, with additional mathematics, to ensure you can successfully handle advanced physical and computational chemistry. It incorporates an integrated laboratory course that brings together the different strands of chemistry and applies them to a range of chemical systems.

In your third year, you will choose from a range of specialised modules in order to investigate particular aspects of the application of chemical principles to contemporary global and industrial challenges. Short research projects may also be available as part of the Research Methods module.

Our academics have expertise in a number of research areas, including spectroscopic and computational methods, materials science and nanotechnology, pharmaceutical sciences and analytical, green and sustainable chemistry.
