Applications for the 2026 Chemistry programme will open in January 2026.
Build your fundamental understanding of the molecular world, and explore exciting interdisciplinary applications, where Chemistry, the central science, can make a major global impact.
Expand your understanding of how Chemistry can explain the world and how you can apply it, through interactive teaching sessions and talks.
Make, measure and model to enhance your skills in practical chemistry and use of programming and simulations. Then communicate your ideas about how chemistry can impact the world around us and make a difference to our global society.
In 2026, students will:
- Build understanding of the fundamentals of molecular structure and analysis.
- Explore research in Chemistry and at the interface with other sciences.
- Synthesise and analyse a molecular target in our synthesis lab.
- Build and control an instrument to measure and collect spectroscopic data.
- Use computational approaches to model chemical systems.
- Apply chemical understanding and practical skills in our innovative Chemical Kitchen.
Week two: Innovation Challenge
In week two of the programme, you will come together with students from other academic subjects to share expertise and to help solve a real-world challenge.
The Innovation Challenge is led by the Imperial Enterprise Lab, a group of industry experts, and is a chance for you to develop vital skills you will need at university such as presentation, communication and group work.
