Chemists are well known for their analytical thinking and methodological ways of working, as well as strong mathematical skills. This makes them an attractive prospect for many top graduate employers. A shortage of chemists in industry, teaching and other sectors results in high levels of employability and starting salary.
Many Newcastle University graduates remain within the discipline by choosing careers in research, teaching, lab/technical work and field work. We offer incentives for student progression by offering postgraduate fee discounts to our alumni.
