About this programme
Do you like both chemistry and computing? Why choose between them?Modern chemistry relies on the latest computer technologies and computing to address global challenges facing the environment and human society.Join a university ranked first in the UK for chemistry research (THE analysis of REF 2021) with an excellent reputation for teaching and learning (UK Top Ten for Chemistry, Complete University Guide 2026).The BSc Chemistry with Computing course combines the study of the structure and synthesis of matter with the development of computing and data analysis skills. It creates a new kind of scientist, one with a firm foundation in chemistry, a sound appreciation of computing and data analysis, and an understanding of what can be achieved by combining them.The course offers a unique combination of units and projects incorporating coding, machine learning and high-performance computing, with fundamental concepts in inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, and applications in analytical, environmental, materials and theoretical chemistry. In this degree, state-of-the-art computational methods are taught through examples drawn from the physical sciences we call this 'scientific computing'.You will learn to design experiments, interpret results and apply your computing skills to problems in chemistry. You will take units applying mathematics in chemistry, while also developing your communication and presentation skills.Options for your final year project include working in a research laboratory or addressing a problem faced by researchers in academia, industry or a local school. You might develop databases and science resources, explore computing applications or carry out chemistry education research. Regardless of the setting, an expert in scientific computing and a specialist in chemistry will both be involved.You'll be part of one of the biggest groups of computational chemists in the country. Units will be taught by experts in fundamental chemistry, computational chemistry, scientific computing and research software engineering; the application of your computing skills in chemistry will be emphasised throughout the programme.Our Think Big international scholarships for undergraduate and postgraduate students could help you fund your UK study at the University of Bristol.
