Chemical physics explores the behavior of electrons, nuclei, atoms, and molecules across all states of matter and their interactions with surroundings. This interdisciplinary program bridges chemistry and physics, teaching you to apply physical principles and cutting-edge technologies for molecular control and material innovation.
The University of Glasgow's Chemistry department ranks 6th in the UK (Complete University Guide 2021), consistently delivering outstanding teaching within a supportive academic setting. The program holds professional accreditation from the Institute of Physics and recognition from the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Students can pursue Chemical Physics as an MSci degree, potentially including an industrial research placement at institutions like CERN or academic labs. The flexible curriculum allows combining chemistry with another discipline, international study options, or work experience opportunities.
Our alumni find careers across industries, government research, and education, with many pursuing advanced degrees. Recent graduates have joined prominent organizations including EDF Energy, Quotient Clinical, Reckitt Benckiser, Sterling Medical Innovation, and Synergy Outsourcing.
