📖Program Curriculum
PROGRAMME STRUCTURE
YEARS 1 AND 2
You will study chemistry physics and mathematics in both 1 and 2
YEARS 3 4 AND 5
If you progress to Honours 3 and 4 you will study
In physics a range of courses including quantum mechanics thermal physics solid state physics waves and diffraction electromagnetism nuclear and particle physics and atomic systems
In chemistry various aspects of physical and inorganic chemistry including catalysis solid state chemistry coordination chemistry quantum mechanics and symmetry spectroscopy thermodynamics and diffraction
You will gain an in-depth knowledge of chemistry physics mathematics and computing and will be able to tackle most problems in chemistry and physics In the final you will work closely with a member of staff on a research project
You can take Chemical Physics as an degree which may include an additional placement This is normally spent doing research in industry or some other organisation such as a research institute like CERN or an academic laboratory Placements may be in the UK but are often taken overseas They happen between third and the final of the degree
