Knowledge of basic chemical principles is important in all branches of science and for a wide range of industries. Better building materials and textiles, improved medical aids, new alloys, more productive agriculture, better environmental control - all rely on chemical expertise. The basic understanding of how substances are interrelated and transformed provides the framework upon which the other observational sciences are built. Studying Chemistry develops problem-solving skills, logical thinking and analytical ability. It also ensures that you are familiar with handling information, be it numerical, oral, written or graphical, and dealing with complex ideas – attributes that are desirable to many employers.
