Programme structure

Each year contains 120 credits of taught material, which is delivered in modules that are typically worth 10 or 20 credits.

You will take 60 credits of core chemistry courses each year, which cover the fundamental aspects of the subject. These courses include a significant practical component, which not only allows us to develop your practical skills and techniques in a range of experiments, but also to consolidate the theory you will have covered in associated lectures.

You will also take 20 credits of language modules each year, which develop both communication skills and cultural awareness. These courses are delivered by staff based in the University’s Centre for Modern Languages.

The remaining 40 credits in each year comprise modules designed to support these core courses and include optional chemistry modules, mathematics courses, project work and laboratory modules, as well as courses which focus on communications skills and employability.

This degree programme does not require you to spend time abroad. However should you wish to spend some time at a foreign university, for example to carry out a Summer research project, we can make enquiries on your behalf using the contacts, we have set up through our Chemistry with Study Abroad programme (F106).
