Program Description

Studying a combined honours in Chemistry and Physics at Keele will enable you to study two fascinating scientific subjects whilst developing the practical skills and knowledge base required for a wide range of careers.From the technology we use to how we treat illness, chemistry is essential to our modern life and offers a wide variety of career opportunities in many fields from pharmaceuticals and food technology to forensics and teaching. You will develop the skills to enable you to become a professional chemist building a strong grounding in core chemistry knowledge. You will examine the political, social and economic impacts and explore topics such as nuclear chemistry and energy, geochemistry, health and toxicology and green chemistry. You will study more in depth spectroscopic techniques for analytical and physical chemistry, as well as named reactions for chemical synthesis. This is embedded in your practical sessions, during which you will learn advanced experimental techniques including handling air-sensitive reagents.

Physics helps us to identify the connections between seemingly different phenomena. It provides the quantitative and analytic skills needed for analysing data and solving problems and makes an enormous contribution to a range of industries such as power, nuclear, electronics, IT, and data-mining. This combined honours Physics programme meets the standards required for accreditation by the Institute of Physics. Our programme will provide you with a solid grounding in the underpinning theory, including mathematics, of Chemistry and Physics and plenty of hands-on practical experience in Keele's state-of-the-art laboratories.

Particular attention is paid to developingand refining your practical skills. In the chemistry component of the programme you will have access to various types of research standard equipment that you are likely to use within your career in chemistry. This experience in the lab will enable you to gain a variety of practical and transferrable skills that employers value. Some practical teaching will take place our state-of-the-art, Central Science Laboratories (CSL).
