BSc (Honours) in Chemical Sciences (Direct entry to second year)

The BSc (Hons) in Chemical Sciences will teach you the fundamentals of Chemistry, from the composition and properties of matter to using reactions to create new materials, and from pharmaceuticals to drinkable water. This degree allows you to include a small component of a non-chemistry subject at Honours level, such as Communication and Teaching in Science. The BSc in Chemical Sciences is a four-year course run by the School of Chemistry. Chemical Sciences at St Andrews provides students with a fundamental and comprehensive understanding of chemistry, along with the flexibility to study some modules at Honours level in other science, social science or business-related subjects.
