Chemistry
Chemistry is the “central science” - whether improving health by the development of new drugs and testing methods or guaranteeing the sustainability of future generations by creating new recyclable materials and fuels, chemistry is central to almost every aspect of our daily lives.
Chemistry is all around us, playing roles in everything you can think of, from the formation of the universe to Formula 1 racing, from fragrances to forensics and from the food industry to cosmetics. Chemistry has been even more visible recently in addressing huge global challenges, including COVID-19 and climate change.
Pushing the boundaries in chemistry research and education is critically important to the future of society. This is what we do at Queen’s University Belfast. The analytical and intellectual skills gained by studying chemistry will allow you to be at the forefront of these developments, putting you in huge demand across a range of sectors in chemical science fields, as well as others, including education, public service, and policy development, as a result of your significant and valuable transferrable skills.
Studying for a degree in Chemistry or Medicinal Chemistry is your way to make a real difference.
The skills that you’ll gain as you study chemistry and medicinal chemistry will allow you to enter into cutting-edge careers within world-leading organisations within the wider area of chemical sciences, and beyond!
