    Don't know much about chemistry, but Warwick is probably most well-known for its maths and business courses.

    Warwick is a very good choice for that. They're top 10 in the country for it, though Warwick is definitely better known for its maths. Saying that, chemistry has been approved renovation of the level 3 undergraduate labs this year to make it all shiny and new

    The chemistry course can be tough work, but you definitely get value for money. By the end of this year, we will have had ~450 hours of timetabled lectures and labs (add or take a few hours for finishing early/late, additional tutorials etc.) which is an average of 15 a week. The actual weekly hours can be as high as 30 hours in a week, or as low as 8 hours in a week.

    Check out the Warwick wiki page where I posted a 'week in the life' of a chemistry student
