Chemistry with a Foundation Year

University of East Anglia UEA

**Overview**Our BSc Chemistry with a Foundation Year is designed for students who are interested in chemistry and the associated subjects, but do not yet meet the academic requirements to enter a degree programme. The foundation year of our innovative course will fill the gaps in your knowledge and arm you with the skills you’ll need to progress onto our Chemistry degrees, regardless of your background knowledge and experience. Our cutting-edge research in chemical sciences underpins our teaching – through lectures, workshops, small group tutorials and practical laboratory sessions – ensuring your learning is at the forefront of scientific progress. Understanding how chemicals interact at a molecular level is not only fascinating, but also of critical importance in solving some of greatest challenges facing humanity, such as sustainability and health. Supported by lecturers and associate tutors, theory and practical work are synchronised throughout so that concepts learned in lectures, workshops and tutorials are reinforced and brought to life through practical work. You’ll be closely supported to be hands-on from the start, in our modern teaching laboratory. The laboratory is light, spacious, and fully equipped with a range of analytical and spectroscopic instrumentation. Our state-of-the-art research equipment, such as our X-Ray and NMR suites and imaging facilities, will also be used to enhance your later studies. Complete the foundation year successfully, and you’ll be accepted onto our BSc Chemistry degree programme, which is the gateway to all our chemistry degrees, and will give you the in-depth academic training you’ll need to become a professional chemist. The transferable skills you’ll develop will also be beneficial to a wide range of occupations, offering a breath of career opportunities. **Disclaimer**Course details are subject to change.
