About this programme

Our Chemistry BSc degree will give you a theoretical and experimental understanding of chemistry in the modern world. The programme is delivered within a research-enriched teaching context, transcending the traditional divisions of physical, organic and inorganic chemistry and integrating practical methods throughout. It is designed to train the next generation of articulate, flexible chemists for a wide variety of careers starting with chemical, biotech and pharmaceutical industries and extending to wide careers such as finance, law and media. Chemistry at King’s draws on the interface between the physical and life sciences, to explore new frontiers and deliver fundamental solutions for a sustainable and healthy society. Experts in everything from pharmaceutical sciences, green chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology and computational methods, our academics are fighting against antimicrobial resistance, improving chemotherapy treatments and finding new uses for enzymes in carbon capture and plastic recycling. Our Chemistry BSc course integrates a comprehensive grounding in core chemistry principles with the skills and understanding to apply this in a broad range of contexts, drawing from active chemical and biomedical research and practice at King’s, and leading to many career options . You can apply for the integrated Master’s course (MSci in Chemistry) which includes a fourth year of study. There is also flexibility to transfer to this programme in the second and third year of your BSc.
