Scientist

This is a whole new start in life and it is scary, but once you settle in and find your people, be that parties or walks in the park, things get easier!

YOUR PERSONAL TUTOR

A few words from the Senior Personal Tutor Dr. Sonia Lopez de Quinto

The  Year 1 Chemistry Notes summarise most of the content that you should familiarise yourself with before the start of lectures.

You are in no way expected to know the contents of all the notes before University. However, it can be useful to have some idea of the topics you will be learning about. Remember you can refer back to these during the year too!

You will also find that you have covered some of the topics briefly before Univerisity.
