Taking the subjects I have has given me experiences and valuable skills that would be advantageous in pursuing a chemistry based degree. For example, coming into contact with different spectroscopic techniques such as mass spectrometry, which is used in pharmaceutical industries, has allowed me understand how and why these techniques operate and be analytical. An aspect of my A level course I have particularly enjoyed is the synthesis of organic molecules and polymerisation. The medical uses of polymerisation is one of the most interesting parts of Chemistry, especially how the subtle differences in monomers can completely change the properties and uses of a polymer. Polymers play a vital role in drug delivery and innovate ideas have spanned
