Chemists are very much involved in tackling the problems faced by modern society. On a given day, a chemist may be studying the mechanism for the recombination of DNA, measuring the amount of insecticide in drinking water, developing a biodegradable plastic, comparing the protein content of meats, monitoring and controlling pollution, developing a new antibiotic or analysing a moon rock! In addition, a Chemistry qualification is excellent preparation for careers in medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine or in the allied health professions.
