Chemistry with a Foundation Year

About this course

Chemistry is the science of matter at the molecular and atomic level, explaining how substances are formed, how they react and how their properties can be harnessed for practical ends. It underpins medicine, materials science, energy, food production and environmental protection, making it one of the most broadly applicable of the natural sciences. The discipline demands precision, logical reasoning and a talent for making connections between abstract theory and observable phenomena. This four-year programme begins with a foundation year designed to build or consolidate the knowledge and skills needed for degree-level chemistry. It is particularly suited to those who have not studied the required prerequisite subjects, to students returning to education after a gap, or to those whose previous circumstances made it difficult to meet standard entry requirements.
