Chemistry requires both rigorous mathematical and physical reasoning and the practical skill of working carefully and creatively in the laboratory, and it trains a way of thinking about the material world that is both precise and imaginative. At the University of Oxford, this four-year full-time programme takes you through chemistry in unusual depth. The four years rather than the standard three allow the curriculum to develop each area of the discipline m
