Chemistry at University
The Chemistry at University podcast is a podcast designed to give an insight to A-Level (or equivalent) students studying chemistry as to what studying chemistry at degree level is like. In this 6 episode podcast series, we speak to 3 chemistry professors about the undergraduate level concepts that students might learn on an undergraduate chemistry course. We also talk about their research so that students can see where the field of chemistry is going and whether a career in chemistry might be for them.
