Chemical Physics BSc (Hons)

Chemical physics is an interdisciplinary subject that lies at the apex of two major fields of physical science. <br/><br/>Its range and compass are broad. From the fundamental physics of individual atoms and molecules to soft and hard condensed matter physics. From dealing with a spectrum of matter from the molecules of life to the latest technological materials. <br/><br/>A chemical physicist in the 21st century is equipped with the tools to make significant contributions to a sustainable, secure and healthy future for the coming generations, through the development of: <br/><br/><br/>* efficient renewable energy sources <br/><br/><br/>* smart materials and devices <br/><br/><br/>* targeted medicinal therapies <br/><br/><br/>A chemical physics degree from the University of Edinburgh provides the intellectual framework for understanding the properties of matter - from the fundamentals to the frontiers of current research. <br/><br/>The degree focuses strongly on the wide range of analytical and experimental skills necessary to practice the subject. It also provides insight into research via a final-year research project working at the cutting edge of the subject.
