Careers

Chemistry provides an excellent opportunity for the development of your critical faculties and intellect, and also instils important transferable skills that will serve you well, whatever your subsequent choice of career. While about 55% of our Chemistry graduates go on to do research or further study, others enter professions such as scientific journalism, consultancy, patent law and teaching. Long term, more than half our graduates remain in posts related to chemistry in some way. The Royal Society of Chemistry provides further information about careers using chemistry: www.rsc.org.

UCAS application

Completing a UCAS application for Oxford follows the same process as for other universities, we just have an earlier submission deadline of 15 October.

Please note that you should not send us as part of your application any certificates, transcripts or other documents for qualifications which you have already taken. The only exception to this is if you already have a degree from a university – see Other forms below. We will contact you for evidence of your qualifications if you are offered a place at Oxford.

Before you start:

1. Choose which course you would like to study. You can only apply to one course at Oxford, and you can't apply to Oxford and Cambridge in the same year. See information on all our courses. 
2. Check the admission requirements for your course. Specific grades and subjects required are also shown on each course page.
3. Decide whether to express a preference for a particular college or make an open application. If you make an open application, you will be assigned to a college which has had relatively fewer applications for your course in the year you apply.
