TIME IN THE LAB

Dr Carl Poree describes how you will use your time in the lab throughout your degree.

This time is focused on growing your confidence in the practical skills required to devise and carry out your own independent experiments in Chemistry.

ALL ABOUT INDUSTRIAL EXPERIENCE

Where do our students find themselves doing a year in industry, or graduating? What is life like in that 12-months away from campus? What advantages does it provide future you?

Hear from Callum, and his experience of a placement at the National Nuclear Laboratory in Sellafield.
