BSc Chemical Physics

  • Objectives Chemical Physics is available as a BSc or MPhys degree course.

    Covering the area of overlap between Chemistry and Physics, Chemical Physics is concerned with the experimental and theoretical study of the structure and properties of atoms, molecules and soft matter. It will appeal to all students interested in exploring the forefront of physical and mathematical aspects of modern chemistry.
