Chemistry

About this course

Chemistry is one of the central natural sciences, concerned with the composition, structure, properties, and transformation of matter. It is the discipline that underpins the development of medicines, materials, fuels, and the chemical processes on which modern industry depends. At its core, chemistry asks how atoms and molecules behave and interact, and the answers to those questions have produced everything from life-saving drugs to lightweight composite materials, from semiconductor devices to the understanding of how pollutants move through the environment. This three-year full-time programme at the University of Sussex includes a foundation year and incorporates a sandwich year in industry, a year abroad, and a work placement, making it an unusually structured and professionally rich chemistry degree. You will study the three main branches of chemistry, organic, inorganic, and phys
