Chemistry with Sustainability

The Chemistry with Sustainability programme combines core chemical sciences with a strong focus on sustainability, equipping students to address global environmental and societal challenges through scientific innovation. This degree explores how chemistry can contribute to a more sustainable future, from developing greener materials and processes to tackling issues related to energy, resources, and environmental protection.

Throughout the programme, students build a solid foundation in key areas of chemistry, including organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical chemistry, while learning how these disciplines can be applied in sustainable and responsible ways. The curriculum emphasises green chemistry principles, sustainable manufacturing, renewable energy solutions, waste reduction, and the responsible use of resources.

Students gain practical laboratory experience alongside theoretical study, developing strong problem-solving, analytical, and research skills. The programme encourages critical thinking about the environmental, economic, and ethical impacts of chemical innovation, preparing students to make informed decisions in professional and research settings.

Graduates of the Chemistry with Sustainability programme are well prepared for careers in chemical and pharmaceutical industries, environmental consultancy, energy and materials sectors, sustainability-focused research and development, policy, and further postgraduate study. This degree is ideal for students who want to use chemistry to drive positive environmental change and contribute to a more sustainable world.
