Placement
The university has an excellent placement and research opportunities. People are placed both in industries and other research facilities all over the world. My previous experience from interaction with its alumni has shown that most of them has pursued a carrier in research or in academics (from my department).
University of York has SEI York. SEI is currently the best institute for research in environment, climate change and sustainability.
Placement
The york chemistry department is known to have one of the highest rates of students getting placements in a huge range of companies. This is something I hope to do in my fourth year which is another difference to other universities: having a placement in your fourth year allows you to develop more skills in the university environment before applying, increasing employability and chance of success in applications.
I loved the atmosphere and general buzz of the uni, as well as it having a huge investment in the chemistry department with state of the art equipment and excellence for teaching and student support. The university as a whole has a great reputation for being a place that provides academically stimulating courses and tutoring that is internationally recognised as well as being an environment that is fun and that allows you to build yourself as a person through societies and sport as well as expanding your academic knowledge.
