The aim of the programme is to provide a broadly-based education in the knowledge and skills needed by students to pursue careers in the range of sectors underpinned by chemical science and technology. Graduates from this programme will have the capacity to apply their chemical knowledge and skills, creativity, and critical thinking, to solve problems of scientific and social importance, and to generate new knowledge. We provide a stimulating and supportive learning environment, in which students develop their knowledge and understanding of Chemistry as an enabling science. Immersed in a research-intensive environment, located in state-of-the-art facilities, 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 ten core modules.
Additional modules may be selected from the Option Modules list below or alternatively, students may select 10 credits from elective modules.
