About this course

Clarity helps us to understand our users’ behaviour by visually representing their clicks, taps and scrolling. All data is anonymised. Chemical physics is concerned with electrons, nuclei, atoms and molecules in all states of matter, and how they interact with their environment.

This degree programme covers the area in which chemistry and physics overlap. You will learn how to understand the laws of physics so that you can apply the latest technologies to control molecules and make new materials. You will study chemistry, physics and mathematics in both years 1 and 2.
