Chemistry is the science of molecules and materials, the discipline that asks what substances are made of at the molecular level, how they transform in chemical reactions, and how the properties of matter can be understood and manipulated. It is central to modern life in ways that are not always visible: every drug that treats illness, every material that builds a phone or an aircraft, every fertiliser that feeds crops, and every analysis that detects a contaminant has chemistry at its heart. As a science, it is grounded in rigorous theory and experimental practice, developing a way of thinking about matter that is precise, quantitative, and creative. At the University of Glasgow this four-year programme includes a year abroad, giving you the opportunity to study in another country and to encounter different approaches to chemistry research and education.
