Modules

In year one you will build up your core chemistry knowledge, including study skills, foundation laboratory work and calculations. If you do not have A level mathematics (or equivalent) then you will take the Mathematical Toolkit module to prepare you for this aspect of the chemistry course. In the second year you will further develop the knowledge and understanding gained in the first year with theoretical and practical modules. Optional modules will allow you to specialise in an area of chemistry that particularly interests you, including sustainable chemistry, and molecular biology. In year three you will study core chemistry with advanced and practical modules. A range of optional module will allow you to focus on areas of particular interest.
