Undergraduate courses

We offer a broad range of 3-year BSc and 4-year MChem degrees with outstanding teaching by award-winning academics. Our courses specialise in medicinal chemistry, green chemistry, and chemistry of the atmosphere and environment with a distinctive feature being the opportunity to spend the fourth year in industry, abroad or at York.

Having the fourth year in industry, abroad or at York gives you an extra year of experience when applying to industry, as well as allowing you to move straight into a job or on to postgraduate study after your placement year.
