The University of St Andrews scored the highest mark in the league table. The Department of Chemistry claims to be the No 1 in UK - beating both Oxford and Imperial as the best department for the subject in the UK.
In the extensive opinion survey of academics and head teachers that underpinned the 2008 Sunday Times University Guide, Bristol gained the best results of any university for Chemistry, a subject for which it has been designated a centre for excellence in teaching and learning.
In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), 95 per cent of Sussex chemistry research was rated as internationally recognised or higher, and over half rated as internationally excellent or higher.
Warwick is placed equal third among UK Chemistry departments with 75% of our research rated world leading or internationally excellent in the RAE 2008.
