Chemistry is often referred to as the ‘central science’, and with good reason. The varied range of practical, academic and mathematical skills that students learn during their undergraduate degrees means that chemistry graduates can be found in many professions.

After all, not all scientists wear white coats.
Chemistry students tend to have a busy timetable full of a range of exciting activities.
