This unit develops the chemistry given in CHEM30006, CHEM30011, CHEM30018, CHEM30019 or CHEM30001, CHEM30002, CHEM30003 to build to an advanced stage for the MSci level of study. The unit covers areas of the subject that are considered core to chemists. Workshops are integral to the unit.
This unit aims to provide a high level of understanding of chemistry at a level appropriate for an MSci student. The unit will contain concepts and material that is appropriate for application in other areas of chemistry and potentially of utility in the research project.
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, including lectures, workshops, masterclasses (interactive seminar sessions of the whole class) and independent study, supported by drop-in sessions, problem sheets and self-directed exercises. The Dynamic Laboratory Manual provides important e-learning resource in advance of workshop sessions. Pre-workshop online material will be provided to assist students with workshops.

If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. CHEMM0012).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
