The Chemistry Society hosts numerous social events throughout the year for the Chemistry department. Whether that be a Freshers’ pub crawl (great for new students!), pub quizzes, an annual ceilidh, mystery lectures and a weekly tea club – there are plenty of opportunities to get to know the chemistry department, have fun and make new friends.
We are open to all, so whether you’re a chemistry student, taking a course in chemistry, or just have a keen interest in it, we offer a chance to meet up with like-minded people and get to know others in the department.
Our pub quizzes are a brilliant opportunity to test your quiz skills and get to know other students and members of staff.
They are held twice a semester, with a variety of rounds including standard trivia (general knowledge, science, sport, etc.), fun rounds (Vines/TikToks/memes), and even live musical performances!
We host a weekly tea club which gives students a chance to get to know the Chemistry department outside of traditional lectures. It’s a great way to network outside of classes and meet students from other year groups too.
To round off the year, the society has an annual picnic in the park, catching the sunshine after exams. It's a great time to celebrate the end of the year with your fellow classmates and staff, with cakes, snacks, and sunshine!
The society holds regular mystery lectures in which academic members of staff and research students showcase their research or the fun side of chemistry.
The ChemSoc Ceilidh is our main event of the year where the society, department and friends come together for a night of fun and traditional Scottish dancing. It’s the largest society event in the School of Natural & Computing Sciences and is a great way to experience some traditional Scottish culture!
If Chemistry makes you nostalgic for all the fun experiments that you remember from school or hear about, "Flashes & Bangs" wants to showcase exactly that. It's exactly what it sounds like, with live demonstrations of experiments organised by the committee, you'll be sure to see some interesting things.
