Year 1 introduces the fundamental aspects of the subject Three foundation modules consolidate your existing knowledge and provide a base on which you can develop advanced concepts You will learn and develop the laboratory and practical techniques needed for the later of the course You will also broaden your knowledge through a module that discusses environmental chemistry A further module of academic and professional skills enables you to enhance transferable skills valued by employers

Core modules
Foundation Organic and Physical Chemistry
Foundation Inorganic and Environmental Chemistry
Introduction to Spectroscopy and Experimental Techniques
Academic Skills for Molecular Sciences

Year 2 takes a more in-depth look at inorganic organic and physical chemistry You will continue to carry out experimental work developing the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to become a competent professional Additional modules covering experimental and analytical chemistry will expand your skills for interpreting the results of modern spectroscopic investigations An optional sandwich provides an opportunity to gain first-hand experience of how chemistry is applied in an industrial situation The industrial placement tutor will help prepare you to find a placement

Core modules
Inorganic Chemistry
Organic and Medicinal Chemistry
Physical Chemistry
Analytical and Experimental Chemistry

In Year 3 you will undertake more specialised study of the inorganic physical and organic chemistry taught in Years 1 and 2 with the chance to choose optional modules in areas of analytical or polymer and industrial chemistry There is also a project module which forms an important part of this's work and allows you to investigate a research topic in a chosen area of interest

Core modules
