Location

Clifton campus

Join a University ranked #1 in the UK for Chemistry research and in the UK top five for Physics research (THE analysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning.

The first year gives you a comprehensive grounding in chemistry, physics and mathematics. Later years focus on atomic and molecular science and its interdisciplinary applications.

You will focus on areas at the interface between chemistry and physics, with less organic and synthetic chemistry and more physical and non-synthetic inorganic chemistry. Similarly, there is very little nuclear and particle physics after your first year but an emphasis on materials science and nanoscience.

As well as lectures and practical classes, small-group tutorials and workshops help develop your understanding of challenging and exciting concepts. You will undertake a project or scientific dissertation, working in a research group with an academic supervisor.

The course is accredited by both the Institute of Physics and the Royal Society of Chemistry.

This course is accredited by the following organisations

The Institute of Physics (IOP) for the purpose of partially meeting the educational requirement for Chartered Physicist.

Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry for partially meeting the academic criteria for Chartered Chemist (CChem).
