MChem Chemistry with International Study

A practice-based unit which builds familiarity (and skill) with a suite of tools for undertaking and reporting scientific research - to include scholarly practice, academic writing, use of databases/literature searching, data analysis - and culminating in presentation of work to a professional standard.

The unit aims to:

Develop student competency and proficiency across a number of key skills used routinely by practising chemists and which have benefits in relation to employability/careers in a more general sense.

There will be regular opportunities for students to receive feedback on their work through workshop and example sessions, small-group activities and online formative feedback.
