Welcome to the website of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering at the University of the West of Scotland. We hope you get the information you need about this unique department where we specialise in Chemistry for real world applications.
As part of the School of Science we contribute to many courses, our main courses are ...
- BSc (Hons) Chemistry
- BEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering
- BSc (Hons) Forensic Science
- PgD / MSc Drug Design and Discovery
We are Scotland's only department of Chemistry AND Chemical Engineering. This gives our teaching and degrees a distinctive focus on the practice of chemistry in industry. We offer a unique selection of vocationally relevant courses and carry out a range of applied research and analytical services for industry. Our approach produces graduates who are keen to apply their subject in employment and a very high proportion choose to remain working in the Chemical Industry. Many of our students already work in industry and are studying by day release towards a degree in Chemistry.
This site contains information about a great variety of our activities, however if you wish to discuss any other topic please get in touch with me.
