Chemistry is sometimes known as the ‘central science’ because it helps to connect physical sciences, like math and physics, with applied sciences like biology, medicine, and engineering. New breakthroughs in fields such as genetics, biochemistry, medicine, materials science, forensics, nanotechnology, drug discovery, the environment and next-generation computer hardware are all driven by chemistry. Chemistry helps in developing research, problem-solving and analytical skills. It helps students to challenge ideas and shows them how to work things out through logic and step-by-step reasoning. Chemistry is a great choice of subject for people who want a career in health and clinical professions, such as medicine, nursing, biochemistry, dentistry or forensic science. It will also equip you for a career in the industry, for example in the petrochemical or pharmaceutical industry. Chemistry opens doors for many careers because chemists are essential for many positions in the industry, they are highly desirable for science teaching and suit careers in public service and management. Both the public and the private sectors increasingly draw their higher management strata from chemistry graduates. Students who pick chemistry often also study from a wide range of subjects, including psychology, sociology, biology, science in society, physics, applied science, health & social care, critical thinking and environmental studies.

The A Level course in chemistry helps students develop a number of skills including:

• Assemble data and assess it
• Investigate facts and use deduction
• Put over their point of view fluently
• Teamwork to achieve results

Physics is the fundamental pure science and plays an important role in all the natural sciences. Physics can be defined as the science of matter, motion, and energy. The ultimate aim of the learner in physics is to find a string of laws that are reliable, self- sufficient and connect to each other at some level. Physics reveals the mathematical beauty in the universe at scales ranging from subatomic to cosmological level. Studying physics strengthens quantitative reasoning and problem-solving skills that are important in areas beyond physics. Students who study physics are prepared to work on forefront ideas in science and technology, academia, the government or the private sector. Careers might focus on basic research in astrophysics, cosmology, particle physics, atomic physics and photonics etc. Physics and related studies are great preparation for almost any career because they teach students how to analyze complex problems and provide them a strong mathematical background that can be applied to any technical field. We offer a faculty for teaching physics at such levels that are oriented to a range of goals that students have in studying physics-electing courses to widen one’s scientific knowledge, meeting the eligibility criteria for major in sciences or engineering, or working towards a degree in physics or one of its more specified branches.

Most, if not all, of the world's most important social complications, have an economic aspect. Microeconomics provides the tools to evaluate the trade-offs that individuals, firms, and governments experience because of limited resources. It considers the choices that are made, the social context in which they take place and the implications for human welfare. Economists apply these tools to study a wide range of controversial public policy questions including the structure of the legal system, government restrictions on domestic and international markets, environmental regulations and design of tax policies. Macroeconomics explores the sources of economic growth and the causes of recessions and inflation. The macroeconomic analysis assesses monetary policy, explains the performance of financial markets and considers international trade and financial links. The study of economics is an excellent way to acquire problem-solving skills and develop a logical, ordered way of looking at problems. It leads naturally to careers in business, law, economic research and consulting. Economics is a standard pre-business major because it provides insight into the operation of individual markets for goods and services, financial markets, and the global economic system and because it provides quantitative and analytical skills that enable students to succeed in a wide variety of business activities. Many law schools view economics as one of the best undergraduate majors because of its disciplined approach to the analysis of social issues.

An accountant’s primary role is to produce data that help companies make important decisions. Without accountants, it would be impossible for businesses to accurately measure performance, and the decision-making process would be about as accurate as a stab in the dark. Where there is business, there is the accounting. You can’t have one without the other, and it’s no surprise that with business on the rise, accounting as a career field has been increasing with it. Increased government regulation has also meant a growth in the number of accounting staff in each company to ensure they are complying with the new regulations. There are loads of different fields available to students who pursue an accounting degree such as internal auditing, cost accounting, forensic accounting, management accounting – the list goes on. With a degree in accounting, the available pathways are far and wide.

Business and related subjects (such as the ‘FAME’ group – finance, accounting, management, and economics) are among the most popular fields of study at universities worldwide, particularly at graduate level. Business graduates are in high demand worldwide, business touches on pretty much every aspect of modern human society, careers with a business degree are diverse and often highly paid. Business graduates go on to work in myriad different sectors, and not all of them are those who would typically associate with business in general. More obvious careers with a business degree include roles in accounting and finance departments, which take in large numbers of business degree graduates. Other sectors with high demand for business graduates include marketing and advertising, as well as retail, sales, human resources and business consultancy. The diversity and plenitude of careers with a business degree underlies the subject’s appeal for many students. Students can also use their background in business to pursue roles within SMEs (small- to medium-sized enterprises), innovative new start-ups, charities, non-profit organizations, and NGOs, and when a bright idea teams up with the knowledge to back it up, one may even consider launching their own business.
