Welcome to Chemistry and Medicinal Chemistry at Keele
Keele Chemistry is friendly and vibrant and the staff are approachable, enthusiastic and helpful. Our teaching laboratories are state of the art and we have invested £3 million in refurbishment and new instrumentation, and equipment. Our brand new chemistry teaching laboratory and analytical suite opened in September 2009.
About our courses
Keele is the leading interdisciplinary University in the UK. What does that mean for you? In addition to our BSc Single Honours course in Chemistry and Medicinal Chemistry, BSc Dual and Major/Minor Honours courses are available in the combinations listed to the course details on the left.
Our Single Honours degree involves studying chemistry with four electives or second subject modules in 1st year, then focussing on Chemistry in 2nd and 3rd year. Dual honours degrees involve studying two subjects for three years. Major/Minor honours degrees involve studying two subjects in 1st and 2nd year, then focussing on one subject in 3rd year. You can find more information on this and an indication of the range of offers made in the current undergraduate prospectus.
We would recommend that you choose subjects that excite and interest you – you’ll achieve more in the end. If you are uncertain about the differences between Chemistry and Medicinal Chemistry, you should know that you can change between the Chemistry and Medicinal Chemistry courses up until the beginning of year 2 and around 5-10 % of our students elect to change each year.
There are also opportunities to study abroad or undertake industrial placements as part of our degree programs. These are not decisions you need to make before you apply, just options that you should be aware of. For more information on study abroad, please consult the most recent university prospectus.
We have teamed up with the Open University (OU) to offer you OpenPlus - an alternative and more flexible way into higher education and to achieving a chemistry honours degree.
