Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Chemistry (F100)

Chemists are great problem solvers and analytical thinkers; they have been instrumental in developing the modern world. Lancaster University's Chemistry degree equips students with a multidisciplinary skill set that will prepare them for their careers.

This three-year degree program allows students to explore a range of core topics, including chemical synthesis and materials, chemical physics and analysis, chemical computation and theory, and chemical biology. The department offers a diverse range of modules that are developed, taught and assessed by world-leading academics, whose cutting-edge research continually shapes the content that they teach. The department's modern approach combines the traditionally segregated subjects of organic, inorganic and physical chemistry, and teaches chemistry in logical stages. As part of the degree, students will receive an expansive introduction to the foundations of chemistry, from the fundamentals of atoms and molecules, to chemical reaction kinetics. Later years build on these foundations, and develop advanced knowledge and skills in modern chemical theory and contemporary practical techniques.

This is a modern and inclusive department committed to small group teaching which the department believes fosters a highly supportive and productive learning environment. In keeping with the University’s ethos, the department values the importance of maintaining an excellent student-to-staff ratio, and they want to ensure that each student is treated as an individual. The university's new Chemistry Building offers space to socialise, as well as facilities to help students excel in their studies. The department's open-door policy enables students to call in for help and advice at any time.
