Why study Chemistry with us?
We are large enough to offer a range of degree options with up to date laboratory and research facilities typical of a larger university, yet small enough to maintain a highly student oriented environment. Our research interests are diverse and contribute to contemporary topics in Organic, Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry; Physical, Biophysical and Analytical Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry.
| Options | What you study | CAO Code | Points 2014 |
| Chemistry as part of a Single Major or Joint Major Science degree | Chemistry is taken with three other Science subjects in first year, two others in second year and one other in third year. In fourth year Chemistry may be taken as a Single Major degree or as a Joint Major with the other subject taken in third year. | MH201 | 400 |
| Chemistry as part of a specialised degree in Biotechnology | You will take Chemistry, Biology and two other Science subjects in first year. In second year you will study Chemistry, Biotechnology and another subject. In third year you study Biotechnology and Chemistry while in fourth year you concentrate on Biotechnology and complete a three month placement in a Biotechnology company (subject to availability). | MH202 | 435 |
| Chemistry as part of a specialised degree in Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Chemistry | Chemistry is taken with Biology, Maths and one other Science subject in first year. In second year you take Chemistry, Chemical Biology and Mathematics. In third and fourth year you take Chemistry, Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Chemistry and Chemical Biology. A work placement/internship takes place over six months between third and fourth year (subject to availability). | MH210 | 470 |
| Chemistry as part of a specialised degree in Science (with Education) | Chemistry is taken in first year with Biology, Experimental Physics and Mathematics. Chemistry is then taken with one of your first year subjects with Education, from second to fifth year. This is a five year integrated programme leading to a Professional Master of Education, necessary for entry to the teaching profession. | MH212 | 480 |
| BSc International | Students who opt to spend a year studying abroad are awarded a BSc International degree. Students can make this choice during second year. In Science, some students opt to study for a semester abroad rather than an entire year. |
