Program Overview
Our Chemistry BSc will provide you with a comprehensive theoretical and practical understanding of chemistry preparing you for a professional life in the ever-changing environment of 21st century chemistry. To achieve these goals, our course integrates the teaching of chemistry foundations with the applications of chemistry using examples taken from the very broad range of chemical and biomedical research and practice at King’s.
The course starts with the principles of physical, organic and inorganic chemistry, with additional maths, to ensure you can successfully handle advanced physical and computational chemistry. It incorporates an integrated laboratory course that brings together the different strands of chemistry and applies them to a range of chemical systems. In your third year, you will choose from a range of specialised modules in order to investigate particular aspects of the application of chemical principles to contemporary global and industrial challenges. Optional short research projects may also be available as part of the Research Methods module.
Our academics have expertise in a number of research areas, including spectroscopic and computational methods, materials science and nanotechnology, pharmaceutical sciences and analytical, green and sustainable chemistry.
Flexibility in course choice:
Students on the BSc and MSci courses do the same first three years, which includes project-driven laboratory practicals in Year 3. Students wanting a general Chemistry degree, for instance to progress to teaching, journalism, management and similar careers, will usually opt for the BSc degree. However, if you want a full-research experience that introduces you to current areas of intensive chemical research you should choose the MSci degree, which involves an additional year. To do this you would normally require marks in Year 3 equivalent to a 2:1 or above. Transfer between these two degrees is possible up to and including the third year. Transfer from the Chemistry MSci/BSc degrees, to the Chemistry with Biomedicine MSci/BSc degrees, is also possible up to the end of your second term of the first year.
Students on the Chemistry and Chemistry with Biomedicine BSc/MSci are also able to transfer to the corresponding ‘with a Year’s Professional Placement’ pathway after their second year providing they meet the academic requirements and gain one of the competitive year-long internships. This will add an extra year to the course.
A Study Abroad pathway is available for MSci students to transfer into and spend either their third year, or a semester of their third or fourth year, studying at a partner institution before returning to King’s to complete their studies.
Transfer and progression to the Study Abroad pathway or the ‘with a Year’s Professional Placement’ course requires students to meet and maintain a grade threshold.
