Does anyone know any good supra curricular activities for chemistry or physics. I’m thinking of applying for a chemical engineering degree or chemistry itself at uni.

Springpod has a few uni-style modules that you can watch for free, e.g. https://www.springpod.com/subject-spotlights/university-of-leicester/chemistry/SS-00132
This is one specific to chemical engineering on FutureLearn (make an account for free and do the course, but don't pay for the certificate; that's not necessary at all and the unis won't care) https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/chemical-engineering-shaping-a-sustainable-future
Taking part in chemistry olympiads or competitions is also a very good shout. Reading/doing some research around what you'll be studying during the degree, or simply exploring chemistry beyond your curriculum through YouTube is also great.

Hi there,
The best addition to your CV in my opinion for any STEM applied subject is always experience in my opinion, if you can look for summer placements in the industry or volunteer weeks where you can shadow people in company's that's great to talk about and put down.
There's lots of placements on company websites or you can use places like Gradcracker which puts them all together and sorts/filters them for you. Don't be afraid to contact the company directly to ask if they offer anything and why you are interested if like them and they don't seem to be advertising anything.
Hope this helps

Hi,
You could try Olympiad competitions, which are a great way to challenge yourself in chemistry or physics. Attending trips or a chemistry masterclass at a university is another good way to gain hands-on experience.
Online courses, including MOOCs or Springpod courses, can also help you explore topics beyond your A-levels.
In addition, other STEM-related activities like shadowing lab or research experience, joining science clubs, or reading books and articles related to chemistry and engineering can further strengthen your knowledge and interest.
Good luck with your applications
