Course overview
Chemical Physics is concerned with electrons, nuclei, atoms and molecules in all states of matter, and how they interact with their environment. This degree programme covers the area in which chemistry and physics overlap.
What will I study?
Initially you will study chemistry, physics and mathematics. In the following year you will study chemistry and physics.
If you progress to Honours you will study:
You will gain an in-depth knowledge of chemistry, physics, mathematics and computing, and will be able to tackle most problems in chemistry and physics. In the final year, you will work closely with a member of staff on a research project.
How will I learn?
Teaching is delivered through a combination of lectures, small group tutorials, seminars and lab work.
Special feature
MSci students can choose to spend a year’s placement working in a relevant industry.
Note
This degree programme is recognised by the Royal Society of Chemistry and accredited by the Institute of Physics.
What will I study?
Initially you will study chemistry, physics and mathematics. In the following year you will study chemistry and physics.
If you progress to Honours you will study:
- In physics: electromagnetism and four other subjects chosen from a wide selection which includes modern optics, solid state physics, nuclear and particle physics, semiconductor physics and medical imaging.
- In chemistry: various aspects of physical and inorganic chemistry including catalysis, solid state chemistry, coordination chemistry, quantum mechanics and symmetry, spectroscopy, thermodynamics and diffraction.
