What the college says

Chemistry explores the structure of the material universe; all that we can see, touch, taste or feel. It develops a number of conceptual and mathematical models for how and why everyday substances interact and behave as they do. At every step, students are encouraged to explore and understand these models through practical laboratory experience. Chemistry is a subject that appeals to creative thinkers with a keen analytical and logical mind. It requires and develops an ability to apply mathematical skills, knowledge and understanding to previously unseen, but "real-world" problems. It requires a firm commitment to achieve the highest grades, even for the most able of students.
