We provide a Teaching package free of charge to all students starting on one of our Chemistry courses. The pack contains:
Several prizes are awarded annually for the performance of our Chemistry undergraduates.
Prizes based on performance specific to the degree course
Prizes based on performance not specific to the degree course
To help our students further their practical skills, and to develop their research interests, the Department encourages Chemistry undergraduates to spend a period during the summer vacation undertaking a research project supervised by an academic member of staff. Students can apply for bursaries from external sources (e.g. Royal Society of Chemistry or Laidlaw Scholarship) and often there is Departmental funding available too.
Two of the Departmental placements are supported with the award of the Tony Semlyen Research Bursary in recognition of the considerable contribution made by Dr Tony Semlyen to teaching and research in the Department.
