Chemistry
Chemistry is often referred to as the central science because it links other disciplines; indeed an understanding of chemistry is needed to fully understand biology, geology, astronomy, physics, medicine and engineering, among others. Chemistry touches almost every aspect of our daily lives, from the shampoo you use in the shower to the petrol you put in your car, and it enhances our quality of life beyond measure.
Chemistry will become increasingly important in our future knowledge-based society: chemists develop life-saving drugs, they work to produce clean water and energy supplies, pest-control agents, biodegradable materials and sustainable fuel.
A Chemistry degree can open up the door to opportunities in multi-billion pound manufacturing industries like energy, pharmaceuticals and fragrances, while the analytical and intellectual skills gained by studying chemistry are in demand across a range of sectors from education to public service, accounting and management.

CCE: Organic Chemistry Tutorial
Tutorials are regular small-group discussions with a member of staff on a particular topic. This is a taster of what tutorials will be like – Dr Peter Knipe gives a brief explanation of a concept: Stabilization of carbocations, then asks a student to apply that concept to a new problem - the regioselectivity of electrophilic addition.
