Please note that Ashbourne does not offer this course to study at degree level Overview
Chemistry is a diverse subject, central to the Sciences. Consequently when addressing many of the challenges facing our world today, from climate change to nanotechnology, chemists are at the centre of the research and application, providing a link to Biology and application to Physics. Chemistry is also core to many more applied areas of Science, such as Materials Science, Pharmacy, Earth Science and Chemical Engineering. This diversity makes chemistry an exciting and dynamic subject with its graduates in demand to industry, education and many areas outside science.
