Department of Chemistry Schools and Colleges Programme

We know that learning about chemistry starts well before university – that's why we run a number of activities to support learning in schools and colleges for all age groups, ranging from laboratory classes and spectroscopic workshops to careers advice. Our dedicated schools laboratory is fully resourced and run by professional staff members.

Our modern chemistry schools laboratory is suitable for students particularly in KS4 and KS5, to conduct experiments that enhance technical and practical skills
