Entry requirements
A level
We prefer students with a range of maths- and science-based subjects, and your typical offer depends on how many of these 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). If you are taking a GCE A level in a science subject, you will need to pass any separate science practical endorsement. Alternative offer: ABB or AAB Most of our students will join us with three principal subjects, but you may have study beyond this (such as a Global Perspectives course or additional study in maths) which demonstrates your individual talents that will help you with your degree. We recognise these studies through our alternative offers. Like our typical offer, the grades required by an alternative offer depend on the number of science and mathematics subjects you are studying. 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 plus one of: grade A in an EPQ grade B in the Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate grade B in a Core Mathematics qualification grade B in AS level Mathematics or Statistics (except if you are studying an A level in that subject) grade B in a fourth principal subject, where your four principal subjects include Mathematics If you study Chemistry and only one other maths or science subject: AAB in three A levels including A in Chemistry and B in one other science or mathematics subject plus one of: grade A in an EPQ grade B in the Welsh Baccalaureate Skills Challenge Certificate grade B in a Core Mathematics qualification grade B in AS level Mathematics or Statistics (except if you are studying an A level in that subject) Or alternatively, AAB in three A levels including A in Chemistry plus one of: grade B in a fourth A level, where your four A levels include Mathematics If you receive an offer for this course and are studying one of these qualifications you will be given both the typical and alternative offer. If you study four or more subjects and could meet both the AAB and ABB set of requirements, our typical alternative offer will normally be the lower of the two (ABB).

International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme
36 points overall and 6, 6, 5 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in Chemistry and 5 in a second science or mathematics course. We accept either HL Mathematics course and Sports, Exercise and Health Sciences as a second science or mathematics subject for this degree. We cannot accept Standard Level Chemistry for this course. If you are not studying a second science or mathematics subject at Higher Level and you are taking it at Standard Level we may be able to consider you. In this case the typical offer is 36 points with 6, 5, 5 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in Chemistry plus 7 in the Standard Level subject. Standard Level Mathematics: Applications & Interpretations cannot be accepted as a second science or mathematics subject.

About this course
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 are applied. At least a quarter of the units 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 that managers in chemical and related industries are required to make. During the course, you’ll gain an understanding of the theories of chemical behaviour and how they are applied. You will also develop skills in experimental chemistry and in designing experiments to test hypotheses.
You can specialise in a particular field through optional chemistry and management units and a final year project. You’ll draw upon the expertise of academics in both the School of Management and Department of Chemistry, and could even contribute to the research being carried out. There will also be opportunities for you to put your chemistry knowledge into practice in research laboratories and other professional environments outside the University.
Our chemistry degrees have the same core units in the first year giving you the flexibility to switch courses.
If you want a more in-depth study experience, you could consider applying for our MSci Chemistry with Management course.

What are graduates doing after six months?
This is what graduates told us they were doing (and earning), shortly after completing their course. We've crunched the numbers to show you if these immediate prospects are high, medium or low, compared to those studying this subject/s at other universities.
Top job areas of graduates
Chemistry graduates are in demand from a wide range of industries, from the food, oil, chemicals and pharmaceuticals to consultancy, technical analysis and teaching. They're also prized by business and finance employers for their research and data handling skills — anywhere there is research and data to be explained, you can find chemistry grads. If you want a career in research, you need a doctorate, so start planning now if you fancy one of these exciting and challenging jobs - but good students can usually get grants to take a doctorate, so don't worry about the financing if you think you have what it takes. The recession wasn’t too kind to chemists, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry (one of the key employers for chemists), but things are getting back to normal for this flexible group and it's one of the few degrees that is bucking the current trend and increasing graduate numbers.

Post-six month graduation stats:
This is from the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey, based on responses from graduates who studied the same subject area here.
It offers a snapshot of what grads went on to do six months later, what they were earning on average, and whether they felt their degree helped them obtain a 'graduate role'. We calculate a mean rating to indicate if this is high, medium or low compared to other universities.

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
