Chemistry is involved in many exciting cutting edge developments, such as drug design, smart materials and alternatives to fossil fuels. The study of Chemistry provides not only detailed subject-specific knowledge but also many transferable skills such as problem solving, communication and literacy, numeracy, application of IT, independent learning and team working. Chemists are highly sought after in business and finance for this unique combination of skills. Whether students see themselves in pure research, industry or the city, the opportunities in Chemistry are infinite. The beauty of Chemistry is that it can be successfully combined with most other subjects.
Candidates are expected to achieve Grade 7 or above in subjects they wish to take at A Level, or, for subjects not previously studied, a 7 in facilitating subjects. A list of these can be found here. All candidates will take two written general papers, one Maths related and one essay writing based, a computer based thinking skills assessment and have an academic interview, with subject specific staff.
