COURSE CURRICULUM

The BSc (Hons) Chemistry program offers a rigorous and engaging pathway into the world of chemical science, blending theoretical knowledge with essential practical skills across three years of study. In the first year, students are introduced to core disciplines—organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical chemistry—alongside fundamental mathematical concepts and laboratory techniques. Modules such as *Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry* and *Mathematics for Scientists* ensure a strong foundation for future learning. The program also focuses on professional and academic development through the *Professional Practice in Science* module, helping students transition effectively into higher education and the scientific workplace.In the second year, students build on this foundation by exploring advanced topics such as *Organic Mechanisms of Synthesis*, *Advanced Analytical Chemistry*, and *Environmental and Green Chemistry*. These modules not only deepen subject-specific knowledge but also introduce sustainable and ethical approaches to modern chemistry. Modules like *Research and Career Development* prepare students for scientific research and career planning, encouraging them to reflect on their competencies and goals. Practical experience continues to be a focus, with options for short-term placements that provide industry exposure.The final year allows students to specialise and apply their learning to real-world challenges. Modules such as *Natural Products and Discovery*, *Medicinal Chemistry*, and *Bioinorganic Chemistry* reflect the relevance of chemistry to pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. Students complete an independent research project and a career enhancement portfolio, developing both scientific and professional capabilities. Advanced theoretical and computational chemistry modules ensure students are prepared for the demands of modern research and industry. With optional work placements and cutting-edge content, the program equips graduates with the analytical thinking, lab expertise, and employability skills needed to succeed in scientific careers or further study.
