Chemistry at Swansea University offers an excellent environment for learning and research at our purpose-built laboratories which draw on expertise from our Engineering, Medical and Science departments. You will develop the practical skills and theoretical knowledge required for the needs of modern industry, preparing you for a rewarding career.
Our undergraduate and postgraduate chemistry degrees allow students to invent, innovate and develop products to help solve current global challenges. At Swansea, our research includes energy, health, new and advanced molecules and materials, and water and the environment.
There is a UK Government Scholarship worth £4000 per year for students studying semiconductor related subjects including electrical and electronic engineering, physics, chemistry and more. You can register your interest via the UK Semiconductor Centre.
Swansea University hosts one of the UK's leading semiconductor facilities - the Centre for Integrative Semiconductor Materials - and we offer multiple semiconductor courses.
Paige Mitchell, BSc Chemistry: I love being a member of the Chemistry Society as it helps me to build my CV at the same time as socialising with my friends. We help with outreach activities, such as assisting A-level students who come into our department and carry out experiments, which they would otherwise be unable to do using their school facilities. ChemSoc members are demonstrators for these events and get to support the students in their understanding of the practical as well as the theory behind what they are doing. Some of these experiments include, pH titrations using the data loggers and drop counters and organic synthesis of aspirin.
