BSc (Hons) Chemistry with a Modern Language

... United Kingdom
... University of Birmingham

Course Overview

A dynamic, ever-evolving subject, chemistry offers a route into a range of careers in a multitude of industries. Our BSc Chemistry with Modern Language programme combines your love of chemistry with your love of languages, a great stepping stone for working abroad or using a foreign language in your career.

 Choosing this unique three-year course can make you stand out when it comes to applying for a job as global corporations, who have a presence outside of the UK, will likely view a bilingual applicant in a very favourable light. You can choose to study one of five languages a Birmingham: French, German, Japanese, Mandarin or Spanish. Chinese and Japanese are only available from beginner level. French, German and Spanish have 8 levels available (from beginner to post A level). 

Our broad outlook on the chemistry offers you the chance to play your part in solving some of the century’s most complex problems in healthcare, medicine, sustainability and the environment, graduating with strong analytical abilities, the confidence to propose innovative solutions, and highly developed lab skills. You’ll also learn about the latest developments in cutting-edge research, equipping you to take the first step on your career path or the next step in your studies.
