About this course
BSc in Chemistry with Artificial Intelligence, a chemistry degree centred on the integration of foundational chemical science with computational innovation. Core topics include Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning and Research Methods. Practical work features heavily, supported by specialist teaching and research facilities on campus. The first year covers the foundations through Introduction to Modern Chemistry, Chemistry in Action: Atoms, Molecules, Matter, Fundamental Organic Chemistry for Biology and Synthesis, Chemistry of the Material World, Professional Skills for Chemistry with AI, and Introduction to Practical Chemistry and Research Skills. The second year explores advanced concepts via Organic Chemistry: Structure, Reactions and the Science of Life, Molecules, Energy, Quanta and Change, Chemistry of Materials: What They Are and How We Know, Organometallics: From Bonding to Catalysis, and Molecular Signatures: Spectroscopy and Chromatography. The final year centres on the compulsory BSc Research Project. Optional modules allow students to explore Topics in Inorganic and Materials Chemistry, Topics in Organic, Bioorganic and Interdisciplinary Chemistry, and Extended Topics in Physical, Theoretical and Environmental Chemistry.
