Surrey Analyst Competition 2025

Important update: This event has been cancelled


Are you a student in Year 11 and about to study either Chemistry, or a related laboratory science subject, in September? If yes, we invite you to take part in our Chemistry competition this Summer!

Surrey Scholars are tasked with putting their analytical skills to the test in a team of 3 or 4 participants, completing experiments to determine if local water is safe to drink and to use in chemical reactors.

On the day, you’ll meet laboratory researchers, develop new skills and hear more about what it is like to do real-world chemical research from our team of scientists working at the cutting edge. You’ll get the chance to work in a real teaching & research laboratory and ask questions directly to university students and lecturers.

First prize in the Analyst Competition includes an amazon voucher for each of the winning team members!


The competition takes place on Thursday 26 June from 10:00 to 16:00 at the University of Surrey. This is event is one day only.
