00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.440
A Chemistry degree opens more doors than you
think.

2
00:00:02.440 --> 00:00:05.480
You learn the science, but you also pick up other
transferable skills, such as

3
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:09.160
data analysis, scientific writing and learning
how to research.

4
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:11.960
Things like problem solving,
analytical thinking and being able

5
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:13.640
to handle complex information

6
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:16.960
Lots of people go into finance, data
analysis, consulting.

7
00:00:17.080 --> 00:00:19.880
And it's because those logical thinking
skills and problems solving

8
00:00:19.880 --> 00:00:21.480
skills are so transferable,

9
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:24.440
I loved working with loads of different people
all across my cohort.

10
00:00:24.520 --> 00:00:28.000
And it's taught me the importance of communication
and collaboration.

11
00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:30.200
At A-level, you barely scratch the surface.

12
00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:32.720
So I went into my degree with a really open mind.

13
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:34.640
I found modules that I was very interested

14
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.520
in, such as chemical biology,
organic synthesis, and medicinal chemistry.

15
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.400
And so I felt like I could find my passion
without being locked into one path.

16
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:46.760
Internships and industry experience
really helped me decide on what I wanted to do.

17
00:00:46.760 --> 00:00:49.920
So even if you're unsure,
you can literally do anything that you want

18
00:00:50.040 --> 00:00:51.520
after studying Chemistry at Warwick.

19
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.360
I think if you're unsure about
taking a Chemistry degree,

20
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:55.560
I don't think you'll regret it

21
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.480
It will set you up with some valuable life skills.
