Modern Chemistry involves the study of matter and of how structure determines the properties and uses substances have. Chemistry looks at how and why substances interact and undergo chemical changes. A chemist is both creative and practical; ideas and experiments go hand in hand. Chemists also look to the future and develop new smart materials, alternative fuels and solutions to environmental problems. Throughout the course students carry out experimental and investigative activities in order to develop their practical skills and require a lab coat for practical work.
