Work experience can be extremely useful to you in your future career. 

As well as helping you make more informed career decisions, you will be given the opportunity to develop new skills. It will also make you more attractive to prospective employers. 

A number of UK university degrees in the chemical sciences include a year working in industry.  This offers the opportunity to gain valuable paid experience working on interesting projects in an industrial environment.
