Undergraduate

Study chemistry with us as a three-year BSc or a four-year MSci. The first two years of study are identical. If you’re not sure which to go for, it’s worth applying for the MSci in the first instance, as you can transfer to the BSc at any time during your first three years. 

If you decide to carry on into year four (on the MSci), you’ll take modules in masters level topics in cutting edge chemistry and work with one of our internationally leading research groups to produce a novel piece of scientific research.  

Whether you’re using machine learning to predict what materials to explore for batteries, designing a new drug delivery system, or determining the mechanism of reactions that happen in deep space, the work you undertake with us will help to push forward current chemistry knowledge and understanding.

The quality of the teaching we offer at UCL Chemistry is regularly recognised with university and national awards. For example, our lab team won an RSC prize for their remote lab during the pandemic, much of which has been folded into how we teach laboratory skills now back in the lab itself.  

Our first year Air Pollution project also won UCL and RSC prizes for our engagement with the community and bringing research into the heart of our teaching. As a first year, you’ll get to take part in piece of scientific research and go out and communicate your findings to local primary schools, building valuable lab-based and communication skills for your career.
