Chemistry with Data Science

About this programme

Graduate outcomes: Strathclyde ranked joint 1st in Scotland HESA Graduate Outcomes results 2026 Ranked: 1st in the UK for Chemistry, with the maximum score of 100/100 (Guardian University Guide, 2026) The future of chemistry is resilient, digitally enhanced, multidisciplinary and globally connected. Digital technologies will enable chemical sciences researchers to see further and go faster, working seamlessly across disciplinary and international boundaries. Having tools such as these at our disposal will herald in a new era of discovery, and one which promises to deliver bigger and more significant improvements to the world we live in. In this course, you’ll study core chemistry classes blended with specialist courses on coding (Python), chemical informatics, AI and machine learning, and software engineering and high-performance computing. Both the BSc (Hons) and MChem are accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry . Graduates of this course will have excellent employment opportunities for multi-disciplinary data science jobs, as well as all the usual careers open to a graduate chemist. Transferable skills are taught in all years and include IT, scientific writing, presentation skills, report writing and problem-solving. You can study at a European university for one year of your degree, and for MChem students, this may be your placement year. You'll study foundation classes in Chemistry and Mathematics. You'll also attend a specialist class in coding, Python 101 for Chemists. In later years, you'll study subjects including Fundamental Inorganic, Organic and Phys
