New residential camp run at Bristol University offers students who are considering studying for a degree in chemistry in the UK the opportunity to experience being in a chemistry department

Twenty Year 12 students from schools in the south and west of England and in Wales attended the inaugural University Chemistry Experience Camp held at the University of Bristol's school of chemistry in July. Sponsored by Bristol ChemLabS and the RSC-managed Chemistry for our future (CFOF) programme, as part of its Better use of labs project, the event aims to give students who are considering studying for a degree in chemistry in the UK the opportunity to experience being in a chemistry department for a few days.
