BSc Chemistry with a Year in Applied Research

About this course

Explore all major areas of chemistry and develop strong practical lab skills through hands on experiments and project-based learning. International students that have already submitted a UCAS application should apply via our Clearing System. Studying Chemistry at Swansea will give you a strong foundation in both the theoretical principles and practical techniques that underpin the chemical sciences. You will explore major areas of chemistry, including organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, biological, medicinal, theoretical and computational chemistry, developing a broad understanding of how each discipline contributes to real scientific challenges. From the very beginning of your degree, you will build practical skills through hands on laboratory experience. You will learn how to work safely and accurately in the lab, record and analyse data, interpret results and use a range of modern chemical techniques. As you progress, you will develop your numerical, mathematical and analytical skills, enabling you to work confidently with data, solve complex problems and communicate your findings clearly. You will learn how chemists apply their knowledge to understand the world around us, from designing new materials and medicines to analysing environmental samples and investigating molecular behaviour. You will also develop the independent learning skills needed to evaluate information, tackle new challenges and grow your scientific expertise.
