BSc Chemistry with a Placement Year Abroad

This is a four-year course includes a 9-12-month overseas placement during year three. Working abroad will allow you to experience a different culture, expand your network and develop employability skills. This practical overseas experience will be a valuable addition to your CV when seeking graduate employment. You will gain a broad introduction to the main areas of chemistry and have the opportunity to specialise in an area that is interesting or important to you through optional modules and a research project later in the course. Plus, you will spend many hours in our labs gaining hands-on experience and developing your research, mathematical and computational skills. Our graduates are employed as chemists working in research, process development and analysis, as well as in broader areas such as teaching, marketing, environmental control, patents and finance. The school is currently going through the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) re-accreditation process.
