How can I tell whether applied chemistry or pure chemistry suits me better?

Applied chemistry may include questions about how chemistry connects to challenges in areas such as materials, medicine, or the environment, and how it can be used in products or processes. Pure chemistry may examine fundamental questions such as the properties of substances and reaction mechanisms in depth. Consider the questions and activities that draw you in, then compare each program’s courses, experiments, and laboratory topics, using information sessions or trial classes where possible.
