What does a set of keys and a Chemistry degree have in
common? They both open many doors. Wondering what you can
do with your Chemistry degree? Come along to the RSC’s careers
talk to find out more. The talk will cover career profiles from a
selection of chemists, demonstrating the wide variety of options
open to those with a chemistry background. The careers focus will
be looking at the path from a PhD to a non-academic profession
and learning to cope with the change in environment. Additionally
we will be looking at an example of a graduate scheme from
application to assessment day and interview.
Finally, there will be additional information highlighting the
resources available from the RSC Careers Service. The RSC’s
careers service offers its members the support they need to
enhance their skills or develop new ones, help with a change of
direction in their career, advice with job hunting including advice
on the recruitment process, including CVs, application forms and
interviews. The importance of effective individual career planning
can’t be overestimated in today’s volatile job market, so whether
you are just starting out on your career path or well on your way
through it, the RSC has resources to help its members.
Please bring a copy of your CV to this session, they will not
be checked individually but will form part of an exercise.

As human beings our way of dealing with curiosity and
imagination has evolved significantly over the centuries.
Whatever the field of knowledge, whether astronomy, chemistry,
biology, sociology or philosophy, it was always because we were
disatisfied with existing ideas, that new questions and tentative
new answers took shape, which required novel ways of validation.
At the interface of science and philosopy new forms of ethics,
namely bio-ethics, gen-ethics or eco-ethics have flourished over
the last decades. We will discuss current issues in these emerging
domains of knowledge. Risk, equity and fraud will be used as
examples to illustrate the presentation.
