Why Study Chemistry at Bradford?
Chemistry was established as an academic subject at the Bradford Technical College, the University's forerunner, in the 19th century, and was a cornerstone of the University of Bradford on its establishment in the 1960s.
The Division of Chemical and Forensic Sciences at Bradford has a long history of teaching and research, and is reputed for its national leading role in developing undergraduate "forensic" courses grounded in the core sciences to meet the needs of the professions. The innovative incorporation of Forensic Science in the 1990s led to the successful present-day programmes.
Building on the exceptional employability of Bradford's chemistry graduates, and in the context of the University's strapline of 'Making Knowledge Work', a new vision for Chemistry at Bradford, titled Chemistry4, was launched in September 2008.
Several factors have combined to make studying chemistry at the University of Bradford a unique experience. See our menu on the left to read about them all.
