Overview

This Chemistry, the Atmosphere and the Environment (with a year in York) (Hons) course from University of York will give you the opportunity to learn about the chemical basis of the environment and to understand our impact upon it.

Quick Facts:

Chemistry is often referred to as the 'central science' as it covers topics as diverse as quantum mechanics and the study of atomic particles, to the molecular nature of biological systems and the Human genome project.
Environmental change raises important concerns over the future well-being of our planet. Although it is apparent that some changes result at least in part from human activities, it is equally clear that natural variations also play a major role.
Each year you'll take a range of core modules which balance a good understanding of the basic principles of chemistry with specialist modules which focus on atmospheric and environmental chemistry. There are plenty of opportunities to see the exciting contributions chemistry can make in the modern world.
Although the majority of our graduates progress to become scientists, the analytical and transferable skills which constitute part of our degrees are recognised as suitable training for a wide range of careers.
About 40 graduates per year stay in the Department or join other universities to work for higher degrees. Most are involved in collaborative research projects, many with chemical companies.
