Chemistry

About this course

Chemistry is one of the central sciences, sitting between physics and biology, providing the molecular explanations for the behaviour of matter. It underpins manufacturing, medicine, energy production, materials science, and environmental science, and advances in chemistry are responsible for many of the most significant developments in modern life, from pharmaceuticals and fertilisers to polymers and clean energy technologies. A chemistry degree develops both deep scientific knowledge and the rigorous analytical thinking that employers across science and beyond value highly. At the University of the West of Scotland, this four-year full-time programme covers the core branches of chemistry including organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry, alongside practical laboratory training and the quantitative methods that underpin chemical analysis. You will develop skills in experimental desi
