Chemistry
What will I gain from studying this subject? Chemistry is the study of matter and energy and the interaction between them. There are many reasons to study Chemistry, even if you aren’t pursuing a career in science. Chemistry is everywhere in the world around you. It’s in the food you eat, clothes you wear, water you drink, medicines, air, cleaners... you name it. Chemistry is sometimes called the “central science” because it connects other sciences to each other, such as Biology, Physics, Geology, and Environmental Science. In a rapidly changing world, chemists will be at the forefront tacking some of the greatest problems of our time, from energy security to ensuring a growing global population has enough to eat.
