Chemistry (Combined Honours)
BSc (Hons)
Why study this course?
Many of the frontiers of science lie at the boundary between scientific disciplines
and therefore a combined honours degree studying chemistry alongside another
science subject is attractive to those who wish to explore these areas. This is
particularly the case when combining with Chemistry as the ubiquitous nature of
Chemistry means that it overlaps with all other scientific disciplines.
Chemistry is studied alongside your other subject attending lectures,
seminars, problem classes and laboratories in both subjects. As part
of your Chemistry studies you will be taught in our new £34M Central
Sciences Laboratory with state of the art equipment. The dedicated
team of teaching academic staff facilitate your learning in a wide range of
styles from Team-Based Learning to multimedia screencasts and lecture
capture so you can engage with your studies in the most effective ways
for you. Using our extensive feedback loops we highlight to you those
areas that require improvement and greater clarity of understanding. In
your third year you can continue studying both your combined honours
subjects or choose to specialise in one. Please see page 106 for
combined honours courses available.
The Chemistry courses at Keele consistently attract excellent student
and external examiner feedback and is praised for its innovative
curriculum and its high quality teaching.
What will this mean for my future?
Each combination of subjects is unique and offers great potential for
those of you with skills in both scientific subjects and such talented
individuals are in great demand both within Research and Education.
