Chemistry is a careers-orientated degree that opens up opportunities in high-technology industries and research, including pharmaceutical design, advanced materials, biochemical study and environmental protection. The skills you will acquire on this course are widely recognised and a course will also open up career paths in areas as varied as computing, teaching, accountancy and marketing.

CHEMISTRY WITH INDUSTRIAL EXPERIENCE

This course enables you to gain an insight into industrial chemistry research and management by spending the third year on work placement with a relevant organisation in the UK or elsewhere in Europe. It will also help you to develop employment-related skills - there is no doubt that students who have been on placement have advantages in the job market. Your specific interests and geographical preferences will be taken into account when arranging the placement. During the year you usually work on a research project. We will keep in touch to monitor your progress and enjoyment and you will also be supervised by a member of staff at the host company. At the end of the year you write a report on your work before returning to Bangor.

(Please note: courses with Industrial Experience, European Experience or International Experience are subject to suitable academic progress and industrial availability)
