Chasing the impossible, with student Charley Istance-Tamblin

Student experience 27th November 2018

We spoke to mature student Charley Istance-Tamblin, having recently had an article published on the Royal Society of Chemistry site. The RSC article is based on the journey of turning her dreams of studying chemistry into a reality, and the impact she is determined to make within the world of Chemistry.

Charley is an undergraduate student here at the University of Manchester, currently in her second year of her 4-year MChem Chemistry with Industrial Experience degree. Having just secured her industrial placement for next year at AstraZeneca, it is clear that Charley is well on her way to fulfilling her dream of a life in Chemistry.

The RSC Profile

After reaching out to RSC on Twitter, Charley was asked to contribute to an article that was subsequently published on their website. The profile follows the story of how Charley went from selling phones for a living, to making her first steps to getting into university studying Chemistry, ending on her dreams of how she hopes to make a difference through her aspiration of becoming a lecturer in Chemistry.

Thanks to Charley for her involvement with our blog, hopefully we’ll hear more from her as she ventures out into the industrial world of Chemistry next year!

Keep an eye out for our next blog update, where we’ll be speaking to Josh, an undergrad currently in his 3rd year of study, about his experience of studying Chemistry at the University of Manchester.
