Why study Chemistry?
From the moment you’re born you’re surrounded by chemistry – the air you breathe, the food you eat and the clothes you wear – they’re all chemistry. Chemistry is the study of substances: what they’re made of, how they interact with each other and the role they play in living things.
From research in space to the depths of the oceans, chemistry helps you understand the world around you.
Chemistry also forms the basis of other related subjects
such as:
- environmental chemistry – understanding and solving challenges such as climate change, pollution or waste management on a molecular level.
- materials chemistry – looking at the chemical structure of materials and using this knowledge to develop the materials of the future.
- chemical engineering – producing chemical products on an industrial scale.
- biological sciences – such as biochemistry, molecular biology and pharmacology.
- You will learn skills such as problem solving plus analytical and logical thinking – these skills open up lots of careers.
