Why do we learn Chemistry?
Chemistry helps you understand the world around you and the substances that make it up. Sometimes referred to as the 'central science', Chemistry helps to connect physical sciences, like Maths and Physics, with applied sciences, such as Biology, Medicine and Engineering. Chemistry is viewed as a ‘facilitating’ subject by top universities meaning it will open the door to a wide variant of degrees. It's also a requirement for entry into many science-based degrees, such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and veterinary science.
