Course Overview

Chemistry with Management Studies is offered as either a three-year BSc or a four-year MSci. The first two years of study are identical, allowing students to defer the decision until the end of their second year. The chemistry content directly follows that of the Chemistry BSc programme, with an emphasis on developing core chemical skills. Students will also take modules in mathematics appropriate to their prior qualification, together with further optional modules. The Management component of the course takes up around 25% of the whole programme, including a range of compulsory modules in years 1, 2, and 3.

Teaching and Learning

• Modules are assessed in the academic year they are taken.
• A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
• Upon successful completion of 360 credits, students will be awarded a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry with Management Studies.

Modules

Please note that the list of modules given is indicative and subject to change. Modules that are in use for the current academic year are linked for further information.

Employability

As a UCL Chemistry graduate, students will have developed both discipline-based and highly sought-after analytical skills, for example, in logical thought and numeracy. The Chemistry with Management Studies BSc has been accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) as partially meeting the learning requirements for the award of Chartered Chemist (CChem). Graduates have straightforward access to professional development programmes leading to chartered status.
