Study of the Costs of Chemistry Departments in UK Universities

This is a summary report of a study commissioned by the RSC from Nigel Brown Associates of the gross income and costs of a sample of eight Chemistry Departments in UK universities.

This report presents the main findings from the study and seeks to draw some general lessons about the financial position of UK chemistry departments and how current developments in the public funding of teaching and research may impact on that financial position.

The report is being used as part of the RSC evidence in making its case to Government that university chemistry is underfunded.
