Review of the Student Experience in Chemistry

Two subject reviews have been funded by the Centre; one for chemistry and one for physics and astronomy. Each review has produced a report which provides a snap shot picture of the student learning experience from entry into Higher Education to entry into employment. The reports bring together existing data and collated research undertaken by the Centre.

Chemistry Review

This report is intended primarily for:

  • Departmental Heads and other managers of HEIs for use in considering the future organisation and delivery of chemistry teaching
  • industry to use in dialogue with HEI Departments
  • the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and other bodies to use in presenting and representing the discipline of chemistry to Government, the public, and industry
  • potential students and departments in providing evidence to support their recruitment of both students and staff
  • Vice-chancellors and senior university management in supporting the chemical sciences, and understanding the nature of the subject, and its role within science, engineering and medicine.
