The degree is available for full time study, with the normal duration being a period of three years. Refer to the Programme Specifications and the Chemistry website for further details on study modules (core, compulsory, and optional), curriculum content and assessment.
BSc Chemistry
In each year students will be required to study core modules and a selection of approved optional modules to give a minimum of 60ECTS (120CP) of study. In the first year there are six modules in chemistry (core 37.5 ECTS, 75CP; compulsory 7.5 ECTS, 15CP) and two approved optional modules (15ECTS, 30CP) that may be taken in subjects that are academically and/or professionally related to chemistry. In the second year there are six modules in Chemistry (core, 45 ECTS, 90CP) and two approved optional modules (15ECTS, 30CP) that may be taken in subjects that are academically and/or professionally related to Chemistry. The third year offers a mixture of core and optional modules entirely in the field of chemistry and including a 15ECTS (30CP) research experience.
BSc Chemistry with Medicinal Sciences
The programme in the first two years is as described for BSc Chemistry (see above) except that the compulsory module in the first year and the two optional modules in each year are replaced by core modules (Year 1 22.5 ECTS, 45CP; Year 2 15ECTS, 30CP) in the ‘with’ subject. The third year includes advanced studies in Chemistry (45 ECTS, 90CP including the same research opportunities described above) alongside advanced studies in the ‘with’ subject. |
