📖Program Curriculum
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 Science
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
