Our aims in the Chemistry department are to encourage candidates to:
Acquire a systematic body of chemical knowledge, and the skills needed to apply this in new and changing situations in a range of domestic, industrial and environmental contexts;
Acquire an understanding of scientific ideas, how they develop, the factors which may affect their development and their power and limitations;
Plan and carry out a range of investigations, considering and evaluating critically their own data and that obtained from other sources, and using ICT where appropriate;
Evaluate in terms of their scientific knowledge and understanding, the benefits and drawbacks of scientific and technological developments, including those related to the environment, personal health and quality of life, and considering ethical issues;
Select, organise and present information clearly and logically, using appropriate scientific terms and conventions, and using ICT where appropriate.
