Important information

We are planning to make some exciting changes to the fourth year curriculum of our Chemistry degrees from 2027 entry. We continually review our curricula to reflect developments in the relevant disciplines to deliver the best educational experience, integrating transferable and employability skills through our degrees to improve our graduate outcomes. The core and optional modules will undergo approval through the University's rigorous academic processes. As modules are approved, we will update the course information on this webpage. It is therefore very important that you check this webpage for the latest information before you apply and prior to accepting an offer. Sign up to receive updates.

Added new course modules

New content

In Year Four, alongside the core module Research Project & Methodology (which is available at 60 or 90 CATS), you will also choose optional modules to support your project and create a wide base of knowledge in other advanced areas of chemistry.

You can take either four 15 CAT optional modules or two 15 CAT options to make up the rest of the credits for your fourth year of study.
