Support for Careers Advisers

We provide a wide range of careers information and advice for students who are interested in finding out about opportunities in the chemical sciences. Much of this material - including our Employee Profiles, careers leaflets and posters - is available free of charge from our Education Department.

We recently commissioned an independent study to investigate the economic benefits of having a degree. The results showed that chemistry graduates fare very well financially compared with graduates of many other disciplines. Read the report below 'The Economic Benefits of Higher Education Qualifications' for more details.
