Chemistry Advanced Project (MChem)
Module F1140
Module details for 2025/26.
60 credits
FHEQ Level 7 (Masters)
Module Outline
The advanced project is a piece of original research undertaken by students in an area at the forefront of chemistry. After consultation with a member of faculty students will undertake research on a topic of their choice. An individual project will usually involve the use of experimental/computational procedures to investigate a specific chemical/biological problem. Experimental strategies will be designed and executed followed by data collection and analysis. The data may be generated using a combination of computation and/or laboratory experiments.

Have acquired an in-depth knowledge of a specific advanced topic in chemistry
Evaluate critically articles published concerning that topic
Formulate their own reasoned opinions in an advanced topic of chemistry and, where appropriate, to propose new hypotheses
Communicate original ideas, problems and solutions to a professional audience
