Chemistry (with Foundation Year) Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

This course is an integrated foundation degree, where you'll progress onto our [BSc (Hons) Chemistry](https://www.ntu.ac.uk/course/science-and-technology/ug/bsc-hons-chemistry) course, once you successfully complete your foundation year. If your interests lie in other areas of chemistry, you can also transfer onto our [BSc (Hons) Medicinal Chemistry](https://www.ntu.ac.uk/course/science-and-technology/ug/bsc-hons-medicinal-chemistry) or [BSc (Hons) Forensic Chemistry](https://www.ntu.ac.uk/course/science-and-technology/ug/bsc-hons-forensic-chemistry) course after your foundation year.

We support you every step of the way to becoming a confident chemistry graduate. Part of that is giving you lots of hands-on experience of a range of state-of-the-art equipment including mass spectrometry, HPLC, GC, x-ray crystallography and nmr spectroscopy – the same equipment used by professional chemists in industry.

As well as the support you’ll get from our experienced teaching staff and technicians, you’ll also learn in small teaching groups to allow you to develop confidence, boost your technical skills and meet new friends.

Staff and student community support

At NTU we pride ourselves in supporting our students through the transition from school or college to university which is why you will receive top quality teaching from our dedicated teaching staff, as well as additional support from our student mentors and technical team.

You’ll be joining a course where you’re truly supported – both academically and personally. The Royal Society of Chemistry commended our pastoral support, recognising the commitment of our staff to student wellbeing and success.

But the support doesn’t stop there. In your first year, you’ll be paired with a student mentor – someone who’s already been through the transition to university and can offer advice, encouragement, and guidance as you settle into degree-level study. Whether you need help navigating your timetable, preparing for assessments, or just adjusting to student life, your mentor is there to help.
