While the number of universities offering chemistry degrees has risen in recent years, Brighton is winding its up due to falling student numbers
The University of Brighton has withdrawn all of its honours chemistry courses – two undergraduate and a master’s chemistry course – after applications fell by 49% this year. Brighton’s decision goes against a general trend that has seen several UK universities reopening their chemistry departments or introducing new chemistry degree courses.
