The Chemistry we study is closely related to matters of immediate importance, current relevance and general interest. Whether it is a concern for the environment, an interest in the origins of stars, a fascination for colour or the discovery of how medicines are manufactured, there is something here for everyone. We explore the patterns that can be found in the elements and how are they built into the molecules of life. We discover the minerals that can be obtained from the ground and sea and the chemicals found in the atmosphere. We consider the extraction of medicines from natural materials such as tree bark and the development and testing of new medicines today, as well as the role of Chemistry in agriculture and its contribution to maintaining a safe and efficient food supply. Students will develop their practical skills, and those of thinking, logic and communication. They will gain skills in analysing and evaluating scientific texts. Many students study Chemistry because they need it for their career. For medical students, veterinary students and those going on to study Chemistry or Chemical Engineering it is essential. It may also lead to a career in environmental science, biology, biochemistry, dentistry, law, psychology, pharmacy, optometry and computing.
