Chemistry
From small atoms to large molecular machines, discover the central science at the core of your future.
Introduction
Chemistry is often called ‘the central science’ as it overlaps with, and makes vital contributions to, a range of sciences. Chemistry considers the behaviour and properties of matter, from the atomic level to the macro-scale, and how these affect our daily lives, from health and wellbeing to minimising environmental harm and developing new sources of energy.
Ultimately, chemistry tells us how the material world works, so studying with us will help you to understand and engage with its processes and improve the world around us. Watch our video to hear from Senior Lecturer Dr Paul Smith on the importance of chemistry, and why he loves the subject.
