Undergraduate Prospectus Bradford has a strong tradition of teaching and research in chemistry.
Chemistry is the discipline of the study of substances.
It seeks to understand and explain their molecular properties, how they can be manipulated and inter-converted, and ultimately how they can be transformed into new materials. Our courses involve you in the discovery of this process, both through the study of pure subjects and through practical investigation. You will develop an understanding of pure chemical concepts and their relation to the technology required to control chemical processes, to forensic examination of suspect substances or to the business environment, as appropriate to your course of study. All our courses contain a significant element of practical laboratory chemistry giving you the opportunity to develop confidence and competence in chemical manipulation and data acquisition. We strongly support the development of professional and IT skills in all our courses.
