Chemistry with Cosmetic Science with Foundation

About this course

Chemistry is the central science, concerned with the composition, structure and properties of matter and the reactions that transform one substance into another. When combined with cosmetic science, it takes on a highly applied dimension, bringing the principles of physical chemistry, organic chemistry and formulation science to bear on the creation of skincare products, haircare, fragrance and personal care formulations. This is a discipline where rigorous laboratory science meets an industry worth hundreds of billions of pounds globally, and where chemical knowledge has direct, practical consequences. At the University of Reading, this four-year full-time programme includes a foundation element, which provides a thorough preparation in the underlying sciences before the main degree programme begins. This makes it well suited to students who wish to consolidate their scientific knowled
