CHEMICAL PHYSICS FACULTY OF SCIENCE


Chemical Physics


Study at the interface of two disciplines, taught jointly by two internationally renowned departments with state-of-the- art facilities, including ChemLabS.


Why study Chemical Physics at Bristol? Chemical physics is taught jointly by the School of Chemistry and the School of Physics. The courses draw on the established strength and reputation of both departments in research at the interface between the two disciplines. All courses have a common first year. The four-year MSci courses are intended for those considering scientific careers that will make direct use of subject-specific knowledge and skills. The three- year BSc degree covers the core areas of the subject and is ideal for those who wish to move into other areas after graduation.


Our degrees are integrated courses comprising units in chemistry, physics and mathematics. Our chemistry and physics teaching labs are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including Bristol ChemLabS, a HEFCE Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning.


Our graduates are highly numerate and literate, with superb practical and problem-solving skills. Many pursue careers in research, using their subject-specific knowledge and skills in a variety of scientific environments, while others apply their transferable skills in areas outside science.

BSc Chemical Physics A-levels AAB (ABB†


) IB 34 (32†


MSci Chemical Physics A-levels AAA (AAB†


) IB 36 (34† ) )


The first year offers a thorough grounding in chemistry, physics and mathematics, while later years focus on atomic and molecular science and its interdisciplinary applications. You will also focus on areas at the interface between chemistry and physics, with less organic and synthetic chemistry and more physical and inorganic chemistry. Similarly, there is very little nuclear and particle physics after your first year, but an emphasis on materials science and nanoscience. As well as lectures and practical classes, small-group tutorials and workshops help develop your understanding of challenging and exciting concepts. You will undertake a project or scientific dissertation, working in a research group with a staff member.


MSci Chemical Physics with Industrial Experience A-levels AAA (AAB†


) IB 36 (34† )


The first and second year of this course are identical to MSci Chemical Physics, but year three provides the opportunity to spend time as a paid employee in the labs of a major company. During this year you will become an expert scientist and develop important transferable skills. You will also study a small number of academic units through distance learning, making the transition between university and placement as smooth as possible. You will spend your final year at the University, studying a mixture of physics and chemistry courses and undertaking a small research project.
