why?
Just asking in general, why is there a decrease in Chemistry applicants?
I read that from 1995, nearly 4000 applicants applied but then by 1999, it was 3100 applicants. I expect its even lower now. Why is this so?
A degree in chemistry is really useful- it gives you routes to anywhere you can think of; even accountancy. So why is there a decline?

I reckon the rapid increase in arts courses over that period would have been a factor - I would say that for most people (well, most people I know, anyway) an arts degree would be more 'fun' than a science degree. It's not that Chem is any less important/useful IMHO - just that people's priorities have changed, and a huge proportion of people are more concerned with studying something they'll enjoy, rather than something which will get them somewhere in the long-run.
blahbloo

Cause it sucks - The way they teach it is just SOOOO boring! It's like...."and then this acid reacts with this base, write that down children" *yawn*
Well Chemistry is said to be one of the hardest A level subjects. The fact few people get A's and B's in the subject means less and less decide to take it at degree level.
Its true though, everyone seems to be taking more of the 'softer' subjects like Media rather than going for the more hardcore science ones.

I could say the same about Biology.
In all honesty, it depends on the teacher you've got. I admit the lessons are boring but when Im doing my independent study, it clicks in my head and its just...awesome. 
Anyhoo, I'm not too worried about the decline. Just means less competition for me whne I apply for jobs.
The fact that it's not promoted in secondary school. Some people see combined science courses of more use than separate ones, even though they're not at all. Also, schools have a limited capacity (especially with health and safety) to deliver chemistry in a way that would interest students, ie. through lab work.

Are you kidding? Biology is awesome! I will never forget dissecting animal parts and flinging them at people, for as long as I live!
And squirting yeast at people instead of monitoring its respiration. What fun!I hate plant biology, though..
Only 3000 applicants for the whole of England and Wales?
