Chemistry is a central science that’s at the core of everything we can see, smell, taste and touch around us. From energy to the environment, groundbreaking medicine to cleaning products, chemistry is integral to all aspects of our life, which puts chemical scientists at the forefront of delivering invaluable solutions to global challenges such as climate change, sustainability and health.
The diverse nature of this field – and the widely transferable skills like teamwork and data analysis you’ll develop along the way – means chemistry graduates will always be highly sought after across a wide range of industries worldwide.
Studying a chemistry degree at Leeds will teach you the fundamental concepts of the field alongside a variety of optional modules available, so you can tailor your degree to what really interests you the most. You’ll also be taught by expert academics, with the unique opportunity to get involved in real-world research happening in the University.
Practical work features heavily in this course. As such, you’ll have access to a range of facilities right here on campus including specialist teaching laboratories and research facilities with the latest equipment for synthetic, physical and analytical chemistry to ensure you have the best grounding to head out into your professional career.

Now, with the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the way we explore and innovate in chemistry is evolving faster than ever before.
At Leeds, we’re facing these innovations head on with this course.
This programme uniquely integrates foundational chemistry with cutting-edge AI and machine learning, equipping you with all the tools you’ll need to revolutionise this field.
Industrial placement year
This programme gives you the opportunity to spend your fourth year working in a paid industrial placement year within a chemistry-based setting as part of the course. Here, you’ll gain a unique insight into working in this sector whilst building industry contacts and developing the experience you’ll need to stand out to employers when you graduate. Our close industry links have given previous students the chance to work at – and build professional relationships with – organisations such as GlaxoSmithKline, Unilever and AkzoNobel.

Extended Project Qualification, International Project Qualification and Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate: Grade A plus ABB at A-level including A in Chemistry.
GCSE: English Language grade 4 (C) and Mathematics grade 6 (B) or higher, or an equivalent English language and Mathematics qualification. We will accept Level 2 Functional Skills English instead of GCSE English.
If the most common grade accepted is higher than our entry requirements, this is due to the attainment of our applicants. If you have been made an offer and you meet or exceed the grades of your offer, you will be accepted.
If grades lower than our entry requirements have been accepted, in most cases this is because we operate contextual admissions as part of our decision making, which considers factors beyond grades. For more information about contextual admissions, please visit our website.
