Entry requirements

We welcome applications to our undergraduate and postgraduate courses from students with suitable qualifications in chemistry and related disciplines.

Each applicant's offer will be personal and specific to their country of study. We accept the English for University Study and Pre-sessional Programmes as entry qualifications, and do not require a separate IELTS test prior to entry.

If you have any queries regarding the suitability of your qualifications, please contact:

International Foundation Programme

As well as direct entry into our undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes, we offer another route into studying chemistry through the International Foundation Programme.

This is a one-year academic programme designed to give you the skills you need to enter undergraduate degree programmes.

English language requirements

If English is not your first language, we will also require evidence of your proficiency in English. Full details of acceptable qualifications are available on our pages for international students.

We also offer numerous English language courses to allow you to develop your skills in this area, or to achieve the level required for entry to courses. These courses run either before or alongside your academic studies. More information can be found on the relevant course webpages.
