Study chemistry in England UK - 255 institutions

Throughout the United Kingdom - this is England, Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland - there are about a hundred colleges and universities where you can get a good chemical education. All types of educational programs for schoolchildren and students are available for study at local universities: preparatory courses, certificates and diplomas of secondary education, undergraduate, graduate and PhD programs.

Depending on the chosen course, young people will study a certain set of disciplines directly or indirectly related to the main subject:

• Analytical chemistry
• Computational Chemistry
• Instrumental analysis
• Medical chemistry
• Mineralogy
• Molecular chemistry
• Inorganic chemistry
• General chemistry
• Organic chemistry
• Applied chemistry
• Radiochemistry
• Spectrochemical analysis
• Forensic chemistry
• Theoretical chemistry
• Physical chemistry
• Electrochemistry.

The program also includes general education disciplines and interdisciplinary subjects that allow students to cover a wider range of knowledge and skills.

In addition to a wide selection of specializations, almost all English higher schools provide a good technological base for conducting the necessary experiments in the study process: these are equipped laboratories and special equipment for research. An immersion in the field of chemical knowledge takes place under the guidance of qualified teachers and teachers with impressive practical experience.

If a foreign student needs to study chemistry in the UK in order to build a career in this direction, then he needs to be ready to go to the end - that is, not only receive a Bachelor's degree, but also enter a Master's degree, then get a PhD. The higher the degree a young specialist, the more prestigious a position he can get. In general, graduates of chemical faculties have good career prospects: they can work in public and private research institutes, scientific commercial companies and not only. The professional competence of the chemist will find application in the field of forensic medical examination, health and safety, medicine and other demanded fields of activity.

Here SMAPSE experts will tell you more about several British universities, where foreign students can get a good chemical education.

• University of Sussex. This university is among the leaders of the country for research, and is also an educational institution practicing interdisciplinary training. Specialties from various fields are available here, including chemistry. In Sussex, practicing chemists work with students to carry out research in areas such as renewable energy, drug design, and others. The first two years of the Bachelor's program are studying the main disciplinary modules, and starting from the third year, a narrower direction for development is chosen.
• Oxford University (UK). This is a world-famous university, where you can get a quality education, not only in the field of chemistry, but also in many other areas. One of the oldest universities in the country is recognized as a leading educational and research center both in Britain and around the world. Thanks to the interdisciplinary training system, Oxford graduates students who are able to work in a variety of fields, including areas at the intersection of sciences and disciplines.
• Loughborough University (UK). The university is one of the newest universities in Britain and specializes in engineering and physical specialties, although it offers education from other areas - social and natural sciences, art. Among the disciplines of the leading direction, there is chemistry - undergraduate, graduate or postgraduate courses. In Loughborough, students have an opportunity to implement scientific developments and innovative projects with the support of leading study groups from a specific scientific field.
• University of York. At the University of York, programs (undergraduate and graduate) in chemistry, atmosphere and the environment are offered for study. York University cooperates with industrial companies, business centers, so it can guarantee its students a diverse applied education.
• University of Warwick. The university specializes in four areas: social sciences, scientific and technical disciplines, medicine and the arts. The University of Warwick is part of the Russell Group, whose educational institutions invariably attract students from all over the world with high quality educational services, rich social life and good career opportunities in the future.
• Durham University. The university is known for ongoing research in the field of humanities, natural and technical sciences. Here, various Bachelor's programs related to chemistry are available for study (these are Earth sciences, mathematics, physics), as well as Master's programs (international chemistry, chemistry and mathematics, classical chemistry and so on).
• University of Surrey. Another British university, whose scientific achievements are recognized not only at the country level, but also internationally. The University of Surrey offers a wide range of specializations, including engineering and medicine, where knowledge of chemistry will be required unambiguously. Here, students can choose a specialty related to chemistry at the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences or at the Department of Health and Medical Sciences.
• University of St Andrews. The oldest university in Scotland and one of the oldest in the whole United Kingdom, not counting Oxford and Cambridge. The university covers several areas of knowledge, the main of which is the humanities (this is the largest faculty), but this direction is also not the only one. The University of St. Andrews has a Department of Science, which includes schools of computer science, mathematics, physics, psychology, biology, and, of course, chemistry.
• University of Nottingham. The University of Nottingham is in TOP-5 higher schools in Britain: it is a multidisciplinary educational institution where you can take strong programs in various specialties. The university includes several faculties: humanities, engineering, medicine, the faculty of social sciences and science - in the latter one of the studied disciplines is just chemistry.
• University of Liverpool. The university is one of the oldest in the country, and is also one of the so-called institutions of Red Brick Universities ("universities of red brick"). All proposed undergraduate and graduate programs are distributed in three faculties: life and health sciences, humanities and social sciences, and engineering.
