First year scholarships of £1000
For students entering in 2012 studying a chemistry degree we are offering a special first year scholarship for all students who achieve AAA in their A-levels.

These chemistry scholarships reward excellence in your A-level studies and should be an extra motivation during those long nights of revision! The scheme is based upon the A-level grades or equivalent that you have when you enter the University. In order to qualify for the scholarship you must have at least AAA in your A-level subjects or equivalent. Grades in General Studies or Critical thinking do not count as part of these AAA scores. Suitably qualified students will be identified automatically on entry. The scholarship will be paid at the beginning of January of your first year.

Awards
In addition to the PSP, the School of Chemistry has a variety of scholarships and bursaries which it awards each year to academically outstanding students, including:
