BSc (Hons) Chemistry
BSc Chemistry is delivered full-time over three years via a programme of practice-focused modules. You'll explore the core concepts of chemistry through a range of modules including biological chemistry, organic chemistry, and genetics, while you build your practical skills in our Bodmer labs.
In your final year you will complete your studies with a supervised research project on a topic of your choice.
Learn more about the course modules in the section below.
Throughout your degree, you'll develop your practical laboratory and research skills alongside building theoretical chemistry knowledge.
In your second year you'll have the option to study a module focused on green chemistry, and develop an understanding of how chemical products and processes can be designed to use renewable raw materials and eliminate toxic waste.
On this course, you will have the option to take an industry placement year between years two and three. Although you'll be responsible for securing your placement, a tutor will support you, monitor your progress and assess your final placement report.
Recent chemical sciences students have undertaken placements at our on-campus research charity Kidscan, as well as external organisations such as the Respiratory Physiology Unit at the Royal Aintree Hospital in Liverpool, AstraZeneca in Cheshire, the Cancer Research UK Manchester institute and the Hochschule in Bremen, North Germany.
