As you prepare for the start of your university journey here you may also find it helpful to hear from our current students on a range of topics (We are Science@Nottingham).  

Reading list and molecular model kits for undergraduate students

The set of recommended textbooks for core modules in chemistry can be purchased through Blackwell's at University Park Campus. Several copies of these textbooks are also available to access free of charge in the libraries.  

You don't have to buy or read course textbooks before you start your course, and you may wish to sample textbooks from the library before deciding which ones are right for you. 

Laboratory coats and safety glasses for undergraduate students 

You will be provided with a laboratory coat and safety glasses during your first weeks at the University of Nottingham. You should not bring your own.
