Official Chemistry 2022 university applicant thread

I haven’t heard yet, I applied in early September.

Thank you

Edinburg’s website says that we should only expect to hear around March, so I don’t think we need to be worried that we haven’t heard yet. It is a bit of a bore to wait so long, but I think it’s the same for lots of Scottish unis.

Hi!!

What course are you applying for?
BSC Chemistry

What universities have you applied to?

Grades
A-level predicted:
Chemistry - A*
Biology - A*
Geography - A*

GCSES: 999888776

I was prior a Med applicant so I used some of the hospital work experience and linked it into Chemistry, Newham college essays, extra readings and my netball as extra-cirriculars.

Monday to Friday. Many hours. Remember you will have teaching labs in first and second year.
First year it's about 3 hours of labs every week.
Second year it steps up to 6 ish hours of labs.
Usually each semester you have 4 modules and 2 hours of lectures per week for each module and then additionally 3 tutorials or workshops spread over 2 weeks

Check out a typical timetable by asking at an open day.

If you're wondering about commuting or having a job alongside a chemistry degree, please don't do it! You probably only have time for a very flexible student job but in my experience, chemistry is a very demanding work-study-heavy degree. You will find it very hard commuting in for many 9am starts and you will have a tough time finishing your work if you get a proper job alongside your studies!

Hi, thank you for the info, won't it be possible to have a part time job for like 2days a week about 15 to 20 hours?

I’m currently year 12 planning on studying chemistry at university!! Can I ask how you’ve managed to get such high predictions especially for biology im really struggling with A level biology, how did you revise for chemistry & biology : ))

Is there a thread for year 12s who are applying for chemistry for 2023 entry? I can't find one.
