Chemistry what sort of work experince is necessary?

I was wondering what sort of work experience one would need to get into a Russel group institute, I always see on here people who wish to read medicine talking about how much work experience they have to do, is a similar amount required for the chemists to be? Or as it is less competitive do universities not really care about work experience.

I wouldn't worry about work experience for Chemistry. It's more about the reading you do- and the things you contribute in your school towards chemistry e.g. attending lectures outside of the classroom etc.
I didn't do work experience for Chemistry but I still got offers from Russell groups e.g. imperial, UCL, warwick, Nottingham, leeds
Good luck!

Thank you! So where did you go? :P

Well I applied to Imperial, UCL, warwick, Nottingham and leeds without this ''work experience'' and I got offers from all of them haha. I go to Southampton now tho cause I didn't make the grades...
