2-Semester Pathway - International Foundation Year - Engineering, Computing and Science - Transfer to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Chemistry with Environmental Science

Known as the central science, chemistry provides a fundamental understanding of how the world works at a chemical level. Since the 1840s, Huddersfield has provided a strong chemistry education to its students, supporting the local textile and dyeing industries as a result. Today, you’re not limited just to these industries, as there are a range of specialisations to help enhance your chemistry education.

This Chemistry with Environmental Science BSc(Hons) course aims to equip you with a solid understanding of the core areas of organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry, and key environmental issues. It will also help develop your imaginative problem-solving and logical reasoning skills, so you’ll be prepared to tackle any challenge in your future career.

On the environmental science side of things, you’ll learn from core modules such as global earth cycles, ecological adaptation and conservation management, and principles and practices in geography.

You’ll also be gaining real-world experience in this course by learning in our new £18.2 million facilities, which include chemical sciences labs where you’ll be able to use instruments used in industry.

You can also participate in an optional supervised work placement in your third year. This placement year allows you to put your knowledge and skills to the test at sites in the UK or abroad, boosting your employability at the same time.
