Chemistry

About this course

Chemistry is the science of matter and transformation, concerned with the composition and structure of substances and with the reactions through which one kind of matter becomes another. It is the central science, bridging physics and biology and providing the molecular understanding that underpins medicine, materials, energy, and the environment. Chemists synthesise new compounds, analyse unknown substances, investigate reaction mechanisms, and develop the processes on which the pharmaceutical, chemical, and materials industries depend. The discipline trains a particular kind of mind: rigorous, quantitative, experimentally disciplined, and alert to the difference between what is measured and what is inferred. At Cardiff University, this three-year full-time degree provides a solid grounding in the fundamentals of chemistry with a particular emphasis on developing research skills alongs
