Chris Willis, director of the graduate school of chemistry at the University of Bristol, says financial sacrifices are worth making at this stage."It's an enjoyable and effective route to a good all-round grounding in research science," she adds."In chemistry, there is much more involved than just working at the bench.Students here gain many transferable skills, including presentation of reports, lectures and posters, as well as completing a research programme.By the end, you should be an effective independent researcher, able to propose and carry out a research programme, analyse data and report your work," says Willis.
