What the college says

Chemistry is right for you if you enjoy problem solving and like to know why things happen. Chemists are interested in applying their knowledge to practical situations. You should be able to work in groups and have the ability to focus independently. Independent study is completed in advance of studying all topics, lessons are interactive and build on this prior learning. There are lots of opportunities to get help and support from the department. Good numeracy and literacy skills are essential.
