The aim of the programme is to provide a broadly-based education in the knowledge and practical skills needed by students to pursue careers in the range of sectors underpinned by chemical science and technology. Graduates will combine extensive knowledge and skills in advanced chemistry with the knowledge of fundamental chemical principles of functioning of biological systems and their industrial applications in chemical, biomedical, biotechnological, pharmaceutical, food and other industries. In addition to this they will be well positioned to provide an interface between chemistry, biology and bioengineering and to competitively pursue employment or advanced degrees in the related fields of science and technology. Immersed in our world class research-intensive environment, students will work individually and in teams, and engage in cutting-edge projects that will hone their critical thinking, communications, autonomous learning, and technical skills. In addition to lectures, laboratory classes and tutorials, we use a range of student-centred, active-learning activities, including workshops, seminars, and team-based projects, culminating in research projects in which students are embedded in academic research teams to work on leading-edge problems. Both the core material and the transferrable skills acquired in the programme are assessed, using a range of techniques, including assessment of laboratory skills and reports, assessment of presentations, assessment of team work, and assessment of a research thesis and of an oral thesis defense, in addition to in-class tests and written examinations.
Students take five core modules and four option modules.
