Why I chose Manchester

"The Department also gives you opportunities to expand your skills beyond Chemistry.

This course gives you the chance to learn so many diverse topics and find what field interests you. By the final year, many lecturers integrate their fascinating research into the lecture courses and you can test and apply your skills through research and labs."

Imogen Henry-Campbell, former ChemSoc President
