About this course

Chemistry is the science of matter and its transformations, addressing questions about what substances are made of, how they interact, and how new materials and compounds can be designed and synthesised. It is a discipline of both extraordinary breadth and practical importance, underpinning medicine, materials science, environmental science, food, energy and much of the technology on which modern life depends. The chemist's toolkit, from spectroscopy and crystallography to computational modelling and organic synthesis, allows investigation at every scale from the atomic to the industrial.
