Course description
This twelve-month chemistry MSc course is designed as a preparation for PhD studies or for students wishing to broaden their research experience and knowledge of chemistry.
The course consists of six taught modules worth a total of 90 credits, and a substantial research project, also worth 90 credits.
The taught modules will cover all areas of chemistry at the core and advanced levels. In the second semester students can choose four from a broad range of taught modules covering advanced chemistry topics. The research project is chosen from a wide range of world-leading research groups within the department with the work being carried out within the individual research group laboratories.
Aims
- To provide students with essential core and advanced chemistry skills required for mastery of all areas of chemistry allowing progression to conduct independent research in an area of choice.
- To give students an in-depth experience of chemical research through individual, extended master's research projects.
- To develop confidence in the use of English oral and written skills within a chemical context
