Chemistry is the science of matter, transformation and the molecular world. It underpins medicine, materials science, food technology, environmental science, energy and almost every other field of scientific or industrial activity. Chemists study the structure, properties and reactions of substances from the atomic scale upward, developing both an understanding of fundamental principles and the practical skills to work safely and effectively in the laboratory. It is a discipline that combines rigorous theory with hands-on experimentation, and the ability to connect the two is at the heart of what it means to think like a chemist. At the University of Durham, this three-year full-time degree develops your understanding of organic, inorganic and physical chemistry, the three main branches of the discipline, alongside analytical techniques, computational methods and practical laboratory sk
