Chemistry

Abigail, 2nd year

'We study Organic, Inorganic and Physical Chemistry as well as Maths. The topics we study range from quantum mechanics, to the applications of superconductors, to biochemical warfare and drug targets.

The department is one of the best in the world, with many top research Chemists. It’s amazing how often we have lectures or tutorials given by the authors of the textbooks we use! '

Nick, who graduated in 2009, is now an educational consultant. He says:

‘Since graduating I have started a company called Explosive Science with a friend from college. We perform chemistry demonstrations in schools, aiming to enthuse children about science.’
