BSc (Hons) in Chemistry

Chemistry places a strong emphasis on an understanding of the structures and properties of atoms and molecules and using this understanding to predict and interpret the behavior of matter. Many of the concepts of physics and the methods of mathematics are fundamental to chemistry. Chemistry is in turn of primary importance to many other subjects including biological sciences, environmental science, materials science, pharmaceutical science and the medicinal sciences. These and other aspects of the subject are reflected in the courses and programs offered by the department.
