MChem Chemistry with International Study / Course details

The over-arching aims of these modules is to prepare students for a professional or research career in Chemistry by expanding core chemistry knowledge into advanced, research-based topics in analytical chemistry.

The key aims of each of the segments are:

Advanced NMR - introduce students to a range of advanced NMR methods and their applications to problems in chemistry, biochemistry and medicine.

Mass Spectrometry of Biological Systems – introduces students to the application of mass spectrometry to real-world examples from health and structural biology.

Surface Analysis - introduces students to the fundamentals of surface science and the techniques used to gain atomic-scale understanding of surface chemistry.

On successful completion of the course students should be able to:

Extend ideas from core chemistry units from years 1, 2 and 3 to advanced topics
Describe and explain the concepts and application of each analytical method
Apply the concepts of the topics and extend these to synthesise new understanding
Rationalise and interpret data from each analytical method
Propose, and illustrate, outcomes of unseen extensions to the topic material

Problem solving, analytical skills, time management.
 

Each segment of the course will provide a minimum of 1 workshop/example class.
Lecturing staff will provide Office Hours during the course.
After the exam marking is completed, students are able to view their examination scripts.
