Course Description

Develop a thorough understanding of core chemistry and unleash your management potential on this four-year course.

During your first two years, you'll enhance your understanding of fundamental topics related to inorganic, organic, physical, analytical, synthetic and computational chemistry.

You'll complement this work by building extensive laboratory experience. You'll learn to synthesise chemicals and study chemical systems through experimental measurements and computational models.

Teaching is delivered through a mixture of formal teaching, case studies, and individual and group work. This includes the chance to develop your research skills at the state-of-the-art Molecular Sciences Research Hub at our White City campus.

Your third year provides opportunities to tailor your degree towards your own interest across a series of advanced topics.

You'll explore emergent ‘industry 4.0’ approaches and technologies such as rapid prototyping, biohacking and machine learning, and apply your skills to an independent research project.

The fourth year will see you gain hands-on experience on an extended placement. This will see you place chemistry in an industrial context. Previous placement partners have included GlaxoSmithKline Pfizer and Schlumberger.

Your final year will be spent with the Imperial College Business School.

Various business-related modules will deepen your knowledge of the management of business organisations, in turn preparing you for future leadership roles.

Years one and two of our Chemistry degrees follow the same core course content, supplemented by optional modules designed to match your chosen course of study. This structure offers you the opportunity to transfer between Chemistry degrees at a later stage providing you have studied the appropriate optional subjects, and as such you should apply to only one degree within the Department of Chemistry. You may need to meet a certain academic standard to be eligible for placements in industry or abroad. If you are an international student, transferring to a different course could have an impact on your visa, but our International Student Support Team are here to help advise and support you.
