Chemical physics explores the behavior of electrons, nuclei, atoms, and molecules across all states of matter and their interactions with surroundings. This program bridges the gap between chemistry and physics, teaching you to harness physical principles for manipulating molecules and developing novel materials.
The University of Glasgow's Chemistry program 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 program offers flexibility to combine chemistry with another discipline, undertake work placements, or study abroad at European partner universities.
Our alumni find careers across industries, government research, and education, with many pursuing advanced degrees. Recent graduates have secured positions at organizations including EDF Energy, Quotient Clinical, Reckitt Benckiser, Sterling Medical Innovation, and Synergy Outsourcing.
