Chemistry with Management MSci (Hons) with professional placement
Program Overview
This program combines chemistry with business principles, providing a comprehensive understanding of chemical behavior and management practices. Students develop skills in experimental chemistry and learn about the social, legal, and economic implications of business decisions. The program offers flexibility for specialization and research opportunities in both chemistry and management, preparing graduates for diverse careers in industry, education, and research.
Program Outline
You’ll gain a broad education in chemistry with an understanding of the theories of chemical behaviour and how they're applied. You'll also develop skills in experimental chemistry and in designing experiments to test hypothesis. At least a quarter of the credits you’ll study will be management topics, delivered by the School of Management. Tailor to your interests You can specialise in a particular field through optional chemistry and management units and a project. You’ll draw upon the expertise of academics in both the School of Management and Department of Chemistry, and could even contribute to our research. Our chemistry degrees have the same core units in the first year giving you the flexibility to switch courses.
Assessment:
You’ll be assessed by a variety of methods and it will vary between units. You can apply what you’ve learnt during your degree in research laboratories, at public engagement events, and in schools.
Careers:
A wealth of career opportunities are open to you as a chemistry graduate. You could go on to work in chemistry specific areas but would also be well-suited to roles in education, scientific publishing, administration, banking and finance, or further study such as a PhD or PGCE.

British qualifications
A level Typical offer AAB or AAA Your typical offer depends on how many science and mathematics subjects you study in your A level subjects. If you study Chemistry and at least two other maths or science subjects: AAB in three A levels including A in Chemistry and two other science or mathematics subjects. If you study Chemistry and only one other maths or science subject: AAA in three A levels including Chemistry and one other science or mathematics subject. If you study four or more subjects and could meet either set of requirements, our typical offer will normally be the lower of the two (AAB). A level Contextual offer ABB or AAB If you study Chemistry and at least two other maths or science subjects: ABB in three A levels including A in Chemistry and two other science or mathematics subjects.
