Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Chemistry with Foundation Year - (Placement Year) University of East London - Stratford Campus, UK

Our new BSc Chemistry course will give you an in-depth understanding of the fundamental studies of structures, properties and reactions relating to chemistry. There is currently a high demand for chemists with strong analytical and practical skills.

Throughout the course you will gain these skills while covering aspects of physical, inorganic and organic chemistry. The course will also provide you with extensive laboratory training throughout all years of the course and thereby enhance your employability further.

The BSc Chemistry course will provide you with rigorous training that will ensure you graduate with the skills necessary to pursue a career in chemistry or a related field. Studying chemistry offers many employment pathways. As a UEL student you could choose to extend your degree by a year and get some hands-on experience in industry.

This industrial research year would give you the practical skills that employers seek, giving you a competitive edge upon graduation. Upon completion of the BSc Chemistry you could choose to study for a PGCE in Secondary Chemistry with us.

You'll be taught by leading experts in chemistry and academia, have the chance to gain industry experience and cover several key aspects of chemistry that will open doors to numerous employment opportunities. We have applied for accreditation by the Royal Society of Chemistry and aim to have the accreditation validated by the end of your degree.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

There are four main sub-disciplines of chemistry, and the course we have created focuses on delivering a rigorous knowledge and understanding of all aspects of analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry:

• Analytical chemistry involves qualitative and quantitative observations and spectroscopy
• Inorganic chemistry studies materials such as metals and their salts
• Organic chemistry involves the study of biological compounds containing primarily carbon.
• Physical chemistry measures the interaction of matter and energy.

The programme also contains modules focused on medicinal chemistry and drug discovery, which are vital to developing new medicines to treat current and unknown diseases. An Environmental and Green Chemistry module is included, which tackles the evolving environmental challenges we are all facing - creative chemists are central to developing solutions.
