Throughout this course, you will build on your previous chemistry knowledge and continue to develop skills to prepare you for your career. These include problem solving, organisation, data collation, review and synopsis.
You will study good measurement and scientific practice, and the evaluation and interpretation of data. You will also undertake an independent research project, which can act as an excellent selling point when looking for employment after graduation.
Past projects have looked at dust sources at Hampton Court Palace, determination of Hexavalent Chromium, thermo-responsive polymers for water purification and radiochemical investigation of Uranium 232. You can undertake this as collaborative research with other laboratories.
Alternatively, you could do a placement year in industry to put your research skills into practice in the real world. Past students have undertaken project placements in the pharmaceutical industry, forensic labs, analytical consultancies, hospital labs and research labs.
In addition, many of our staff in the Faculty are research active. This ensures they are in touch with the latest thinking and bring best practice to your studies.
