Recommend the best degree courses to your students
You might not know, but the Royal Society of Chemistry has been accrediting chemistry degrees in the UK for many years. Accreditation is a peer review process that guarantees that a degree course is equipping students with the skills and knowledge they’ll need to build a career in the chemical sciences and fulfil the academic requirements for achieving Chartered Chemist status.
Make sure you know which courses to recommend to your students by taking a look at the list of accredited courses on our website.
