Some students find employment in the chemical and related industries.
An increasing number continue their studies at degree level either in Chemistry or Pharmacy. The programme appeals to students who wish to consolidate and broaden their existing chemistry knowledge. The level is intermediate between A-level and degree. A comprehensive foundation in the main areas of Chemistry is offered and training is provided in such associated skills as computing and group presentations. This year builds on the fundamentals acquired and, in addition to more advanced branches of mainstream Chemistry, such subjects as Business, Marketing and Environmental Chemistry are offered.
