chemistry

hi
i am considering applying for chemistry in university in the UK. however, being from asia, i don't know much about the university scene in the UK.

i would like to know your opinions on which universities in the uk are best for chemistry at the undergraduate level.

thanks.

Not that any undergrads will be allowed anywhere near it though (except maybe 4th year project students)

Not true! boyf was allowed inside to hand in some tutorial work

it's all air conditioned! blasphemy! university buildings should be big and ugly!

You mean urs arnt, in durham it was great in labs on friday, all nice and cool though admittedly we have two floors which i've only been to noce and a seperate building of materials chemistry which I've never seen anyone in

Air conditioned throughout? Wow! How can Durham afford that?

My building uses natural ventilation as any proper uni building should, i.e. opened windows

Cos chem is one of the unis top research departments it pumps tons of money into it Its (5* too!)

Hehe! Close the Oriental Studies department or whatever it was and use it to pay for the Chemistry departments electricity bill

Coola

I absolutely LOVE my degree course here, and I havent spoken to a single tab who has said the same, in fact, they all HATE the pressure that they are under, and having to do modules that they really dont care about.

I applied to:
Sheffield
Southampton
Manchester
Cardiff
Birmingham
Nottingham

I got offers from all and got the grades to get into whichever i wanted. Although Sheffield wasn't ranked highest out of those for chemistry i loved the place so much that i went there. Afterall, you will get a better degree from somewhere u enjoy going to. It is also has the cheapest living costs in the country.
