Chemistry

About this course

Chemistry is the science of matter and its transformations, the discipline that asks what substances are made of, how they behave, and how they can be combined, altered, and synthesised to create new materials with new properties. It underpins an extraordinary range of human activity, from the development of medicines and materials to the understanding of environmental processes, the production of energy, and the formulation of the food and products we use every day. Studying chemistry at degree level means developing the theoretical knowledge to understand why substances behave as they do and the practical skills to investigate them in the laboratory. At Newcastle University, this three-year full-time programme gives you a thorough grounding in the core branches of chemistry, including organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry, as well as analytical techniques and computational approa
