Course Overview

Chemistry is a linear, quantitative subject containing a significant volume of factual material. It is an experimental science where practical work, and the development of practical skills, are important. This four-year course is delivered through a mixture of double €œCore€ modules and single €œadd-on€ modules using lectures, tutorials, problem classes, and laboratory practical work, culminating in a major research project in the fourth year conducted on placement at an industrial research laboratory. Lectures provide the key information on a particular area and form the main basis by which you will learn the fundamental concepts and facts of the subject. In tutorials, you will acquire subject-specific knowledge, and also develop problem-solving skills embodying the concepts from lectures in a formative environment. Workshops are used in the first year as revision sessions in preparation for the end-of-year examinations, in later years they are used to consolidate factual knowledge and develop problem-solving skills. Problem classes are used in the first year to develop mathematical and other quantitative skills in a problem-solving environment. Laboratory classes are used to teach, develop and refine the subject-specific experimental skills of synthesis, measurement, and characterization that characterize a competent chemistry graduate, whilst applying concepts from lectures in an experimental environment.
