Course summary

Chemistry at Queen’s is a vibrant mix of ‘hands on’ experiments, state-of-the-art technology and experienced and enthusiastic teaching. All the dedicated staff in the department work hard to make Chemistry exciting and rewarding by using a great variety of stimulating activities in teaching and learning. As a Chemistry student, you will undertake significant experimental work. Test tubes and Bunsen burners, colours, smells, bangs and bubbles are part of Chemistry as much now as ever. These activities are enhanced by regular use of specialist computer software, both in the lab and in the computer room, data-logging equipment, LCD projectors, an interactive whiteboard, and molecular models. The teaching style promotes independent learning and the development of study skills which provides an excellent platform from which to go on to University.
