Chemistry is the central science with links to biology, medicine, geology, physics, mathematics, materials science and other disciplines. Chemistry is the science most concerned with our everyday needs such as the development of new materials, the synthesis and action of new drugs, and the monitoring and improvement of the environment. Chemistry appeals to people with logical but at the same time intuitive minds. Chemistry graduates, with their wide range of background, training in logical thought and numerical skills have an excellent starting point for careers in research and teaching, and they are in demand for careers in industry, commerce, management, the city and government.
