Program Overview
Gain a broad education in chemistry and the business environment. You’ll be prepared for a career in scientific or management areas.
This course allows you to combine your love of chemistry with an interest in how business works. 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. You’ll develop an understanding of the social, legal and economic implications of the decisions managers in industry are required to make.
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.
Supporting your studies
As a student here, you’ll be part of a supportive department with friendly staff, an open-door culture and an active student community, including our chemistry society and Chem Crew student mentors.
Put your learning into practice
Alongside teaching, our academics carry out research in all branches of chemistry and you’ll have the chance to contribute to the world-leading research they are working on. You can also apply what you’ve learnt during your degree in research laboratories, at public engagement events, and in schools.
Develop your professional skills
You'll be exposed to a wide variety of opportunities to develop professional and transferable skills. These skills (e.g creativity, problem-solving, numeracy, IT, communication, analysis) will support you throughout your time in Bath and future career. After graduating, you will be adaptable and able to analyse problems critically in an ever-changing world and confidently develop creative and logical solutions.
Use specialist facilities
You'll learn core experimental skills in our well-equipped undergraduate teaching laboratories, specifically synthetic, analytical and computational methods. You will also have access to the University's world-class characterisation facilities including hands-on NMR, mass spectrometry, diffraction, microscopy and chromatography.
Get ready for your future career
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.

Program Outline
Course structure
This course lasts 3 years. It starts in September 2023 and ends in 2026. Welcome week starts on 25 September 2023.
Occasionally we make changes to our programmes in response to, for example, feedback from students, developments in research and the field of studies, and the requirements of accrediting bodies. You will be advised of any significant changes to the advertised programme, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
Units
At Bath, our courses are made up of units of study. Compulsory units cover core concepts that you'll need to understand as part of your degree programme. Some of our courses also offer the opportunity for you to study optional units. These allow you to specialise in particular areas of knowledge that interest you.
As an undergraduate, you will be expected to take 60 credits (ECTS) in each academic year. These are usually split into 30 credits for each semester you study. Sixty credits are the equivalent of 1200 notional hours of study; this includes contact time with staff and your own independent learning.

Learning and assessment
You’ll be taught and assessed by a variety of methods and it will vary between units. These methods are designed to promote in-depth learning and understanding of the subject.
Learning
Assessment
Learning and teaching
Contact hours
Timetabled contact hours, which may be made up of lectures, seminars, tutorials and laboratory classes, vary throughout your course and between courses but are typically between 15 and 20 hours a week in your first year.
Independent learning
In addition to timetabled contact hours, you are expected to undertake independent learning and assessment activities. Typically, this might be around 15 to 25 hours per week in your first year, and include individual research, reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, preparing course working assignments, presentations, or revising for exams. After your first year, the emphasis on independent learning becomes greater, for example in a final year project.
Assessment breakdown
You will be assessed by a range of methods designed to develop and test your skills and knowledge. These include examinations (written and oral), presentations, practical work, literature reviews and laboratory reports.
The mix of assessment methods will vary throughout your course and according to your option choices but overall you will experience a broad balance between examinations and coursework.
In your final year you will be expected to complete a project or dissertation, which will primarily be assessed individually.
We can make reasonable adjustments to assessment procedures for students with disabilities, take a look at our Disability Service’s pages for information.
Recognition of professional qualifications
As well as being recognised as a higher academic qualification, a number of our degrees are also accredited by professional bodies in the United Kingdom. An accredited degree may entitle you to work in a specific profession within the UK, and abroad (where there are reciprocating arrangements with professional bodies in other countries).
The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work.
The United Kingdom currently subscribes to The Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications (MRPQ) Directive. The MRPQ Directive provides a reciprocal framework of rules which enables European Economic Area (EEA) and Swiss nationals to have their professional qualifications recognised in a state other than the one in which the qualification was obtained. In the event of a no deal Brexit, from 1 January 2021, the MRPQ Directive will no longer apply to the UK. However, it is anticipated that there will be a new system for recognising professional qualifications between the UK, EEA, and Switzerland.
