"As a chemist, I want to gain as much knowledge as possible, as a student, I want to push myself to study harder, as an athlete, I want to push myself to the next level, and as a friend, I want to use my experiences to help others succeed. The caliber of the chemistry program at St. Andrews is truly incredible.
There are opportunities to participate in corporate placements, perform individual research in state-of-the-art laboratories, and to continue through to a master’s degree. Over the summer I came to realize that the opportunities available would possibly never come up again. The difference between a Bachelor’s of Arts in Chemistry and Bachelor’s of Science or Master’s degree are worlds apart.
Over the summer I was offered a place as a full time undergraduate in the Univeristy of St. Andrews Master’s of Chemistry program. I have decided to return to St. Andrews to finish my degree. Everything happened very, very fast, but I am so excited every morning, to wake up, go to class and challenge myself. The classes here are incredibly difficult, but it’s a challenge that will hopefully pay off in the end.
I would truly like to continue to share my experiences with other college students and encourage them to challenge themselves as well, and I thank you for your continued support."
