Congratulations and Welcome to Chemistry
Welcome from the Head of Department
Congratulations on your results!
I'm delighted that you've chosen Durham University Chemistry Department for your degree studies and I look forward to meeting you this October.
I'm sure that your time in Durham will be both an intellectually stimulating and personally rewarding one. The University has much to offer in terms of not only your degree programme but also activities outside of your studies and is a wonderful place to spend three or four years as an undergraduate.
I look forward to welcoming you to Durham this October.
