Saturday Club: Chemistry

Students in Year 10 - 13 and studying relevant subjects are invited to join the University of Brighton for a brand new Saturday club, where they will gain experience in cutting edge science in University level laboratories, focusing on chemistry and its use in everyday lives.

"Our aim is to have fun, while increasing students' experience, enthusiasm and aspirations around Chemistry as a potential future career. Sessions will take place monthly from January - June 2019, with a series of 4 practical workshops, a visit to the Science Museum in London, and a final celebratory poster/presentation day for participants and guests. Each 3-hour session will be run by staff and undergraduates from the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences, led by Dr Bhavik Patel, the youngest Fellow of Pharmacy in the UK!"
