649 Chemistry Bachelors Degree Programs

Everything around you is chemistry. Even you yourself are chemistry. In this Bachelor’s programme, you will get theoretical knowledge and practical skills to understand the world at a molecular level.

Chemistry is at the heart of scientific discovery, shaping industries from healthcare and environmental science to materials engineering. The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry programme offers a comprehensive education in fundamental and applied chemistry, equipping students with the skills and knowledge needed to tackle real-world scientific challenges.

The BSc in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences offers a compelling mix of technical knowledge and more hands-on practical experience than other similar courses, meaning you’ll be better prepared for the workforce or postgraduate study. During it, you’ll gain fundamental knowledge in organic, inorganic, physical, medicinal and analytical chemistry, along with practical lab skills and the ability to apply the theory you’ve learned. You’ll also build your creative, innovation and presentation skills.

In this specialist route through our BSc (Honours) Natural Sciences (Q64) degree, you’ll learn about the structure, properties and reactivity of molecules, and the integral role these play in our understanding of the world around us. On completion of your degree, as well as gaining an understanding of chemistry, you’ll develop analytical and scientific literacy skills carrying out practical work and a research project.

In pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, students receive a strong foundation in analytical, physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry before selecting one of three options leading to the degree: biochemistry and natural products, environmental chemistry, or natural and synthetic polymer chemistry.

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers majors leading to a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts Degree. The B.A. Degree also has a Biochemistry Option. The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry is designed primarily for students who plan to enter graduate programs in chemistry or other closely related sciences. Students graduating with this degree will be certified to the Society and will receive a certificate from the ACS. The Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry fulfills the need of those students who are pursuing pre-medical or pre-dental programs as well as those who plan to enter fields such as business, environmental or patent law, where a background in chemistry can be of great utility.

The Degree in Engineering in Industrial Chemistry provides training based on the theoretical bases and the technologies of this field. Every person graduated in Industrial Chemistry Engineering can carry out tasks of design, maintenance and operation of chemical process equipment, experiment with organic and inorganic substances, heat transmission or mass transfer, fluid flow and chemical reaction engineering. This degree also studies the use of raw materials, the chemistry of natural products, analyzes manufacturing processes, environmental contamination, and industrial safety and hygiene.

Concerned with the study of matter, its properties and reactions, chemistry plays a key role in tackling global challenges such as energy production, health and wellbeing, food security and the use of natural resources. The programme aims to develop the analytical and practical skills required to prepare students for a wide range of science-related careers.

The study program in BSc in Chemistry offers complete education in chemistry, with directions in inorganic and organic chemistry, analytical and environmental chemistry, and physical chemistry.

Chemistry is a diverse field that involves the study of the properties, composition, and structure of substances. At JMU, the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is large enough to offer modern laboratories and advanced instrumentation, and small enough for students to gain hands-on experience with this research-grade equipment and to pursue individualized programs of study. Our faculty members specialize in all major areas of chemistry, including organic/inorganic chemistry, environmental chemistry, computational chemistry, and a variety of other subdisciplines.

In this full-time, four-year program, you will gain a broad foundational knowledge of chemistry in topics such as organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, and stereochemistry.

Kickstart your career with our Chemistry BSc (Hons) degree course, accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). You'll have the opportunity to undertake a one-year work placement in industry, which will help prepare you for a career in chemistry.

This three-year course in BSc Chemistry aims to give you a flexible and dynamic education in the knowledge and skills needed to advance into a successful chemistry career. You will study a broad introduction to the main areas of chemistry with the opportunity to specialise in topics that are interesting or important to you through optional modules and a research project.

Chemistry is the central science. All aspects of technical development require people with expertise in chemistry. A basic chemical education is required by doctors, dentists, engineers, agriculturalists, foresters, factory managers, etc. Thus, there is a continuing need for chemistry teachers in the region.

The Chemistry Department offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Chemistry or Biochemistry as well as a minor in Chemistry. Students may also choose to double major in Biochemistry and Biology or Biochemistry and Chemistry. The department also provides advising and coursework for students interested in applying to pharmacy school.

An undergraduate degree in chemistry is a powerful degree that can start you on many different career paths. The BS in Chemistry is recommended for students who are planning professional careers in chemistry or chemistry-related fields or who are intending to pursue postgraduate studies in chemistry after graduation. The BS is certified by the American Chemical Society as meeting the necessary criteria for a professional baccalaureate degree in chemistry.
