As a University of Bradford chemistry student, you will have choice and flexibility in your degree.<br/><br/>During the first two years, you will develop a sound understanding of theoretical and practical aspects of chemistry with core content delivered across the traditional areas of organic, inorganic and physical chemistry. <br/><br/>To give you an intellectually fulfilling university experience our chemistry courses allow you to take 20 credits of elective modules in stages 1 and 2, with subjects offered from across the university’s teaching portfolio such as mathematics, engineering, economics and so on.<br/><br/>The third year will introduce you to specialist content in medicinal, materials and analytical chemistry. You will also have the opportunity to study a specific subject by choosing to a greater depth during an extended dissertation.<br/><br/>It is possible to exit after stage 3 with a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry.<br/><br/>In the Masters year you will develop a deeper understanding of the application of chemistry to solving real-world problems. Masters-level training focuses on deploying training in real-world settings. Academic research experience involves students working on their own project as part of a research team alongside postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers at the University.<br/><br/>Your chemistry education with us needn’t be confined to Bradford. We have links with companies and universities all over the world, and several of our students take the opportunity to complete stage 4 of their degree with one of our partners. Recent placements have included formulating new perfumes, working in an Alzheimer’s research group at Harvard Medical School, and searching for new antimicrobial compounds from fungi in the Canadian wilderness.<br/><br/>**Professional accreditation**<br/>Students can apply for membership of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC).<br/><br/>**Rankings**<br/>Our BSc and MChem Chemistry programmes received 94% overall student satisfaction in the National Student Survey 2020.
