为什么曼彻斯特?
曼彻斯特 science faculty believe that you learn science best by doing science. Small class sizes ensure close interaction with your professors, who guide you to gain new knowledge and skills. They will also challenge you to put your classroom knowledge into practice through hands-on laboratory experiences conducted in lab spaces that are equipped for you to simulate common tasks you’ll encounter in your post-college paths. 最重要的是, every chemistry major completes a summer or semester 研究 experience where they complete a one-on-one 研究 project with a chemistry or 物理 professor. This is an important step in your development as a chemistry major, helping you to build valuable skills for your resume and post-graduation plans.
