Program overview
A three year honours degree in natural sciences with a chemistry pathway, covering organic, inorganic and physical chemistry alongside broader scientific study and laboratory work.
London Met lists this beside a standalone Chemistry degree under the same course code, so confirm which programme your offer actually names.
Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Natural Sciences - Chemistry is taught at the University of London Met, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the natural sciences chemistry degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the natural sciences chemistry degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the natural sciences chemistry degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the natural sciences chemistry degree does not support a family move.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: Grade 12 or equivalent at the percentage stated for this course.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 72 with reading 18, writing 17, speaking 20 and listening 17; PTE Academic 59 in every component; or the Duolingo English Test at 105, which London Met does accept.
- Application and deposit: London Met charges NO application fee, so applying costs you nothing. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: London Met applies an India Bright Futures Scholarship worth GBP 5,000 to eligible Indian students automatically, with no separate application form. You apply for the course as normal and the award appears on your offer if you qualify. Confirm the figure on that offer rather than assuming it, and check the eligibility conditions for your intake before budgeting around it.
- Additional requirement: This shares a course code with the standalone Chemistry degree in the same feed. Confirm which programme your offer letter names. London living costs and the UKVI maintenance requirement are both higher than for study elsewhere in Britain. Budget for the London figure rather than the national one.
- Work rights: the natural sciences chemistry degree is a degree, so it supports a UK Graduate Route application giving two years of unsponsored work after you finish. No dependant may accompany you on a taught course.
- Student visa: Apply Study Visa prepares the CAS request, the financial evidence and the UK student visa submission with you.
