The Department of Chemistry at the University of Oxford is continually developing its outreach programme to fulfil the following aims: To encourage students from all backgrounds to consider higher education by providing them with information and experiences that help them make informed decisions about their future. To encourage students to study chemistry, through delivering exciting and engaging workshops and by developing their understanding of the careers available in chemistry. To support the teaching of chemistry in schools by providing access to undergraduate level equipment and teaching staff for students, and CPD and resources for teachers.
