Chemistry Projects
Module F10010
Module details for 2025/26.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 6
Module Outline
In this module students will undertake a short piece of original research in an area of current topical activity, working as a small research team under the guidance of a lead PI. The project may involve synthesis, compound characterisation, physical measurements, instrumental analysis, computational study, theoretical investigation, data analysis or a combination of these. Research outcomes will then be reported through a team presentation and individual dissertation.
Module learning outcomes
Plan and conduct a sequence of experimental or other analytical procedures that establish definite conclusion to a critically evaluated chemical problem.
Demonstrate a broad and synoptic knowledge of chemical techniques as applied to real world situations.
Demonstrate an ability to deploy accurately, established techniques of analysis to a specific chemical system or current topic of wider chemical interest.
Report in writing and orally scientific findings in context with literature sources with a critical evaluation of strengths and weakness of the techniques used.
