Course Summary

Our BSc Chemistry course will give students an in-depth understanding of the fundamental studies of structures, properties and reactions relating to chemistry. There is currently a high demand for chemists with strong analytical and practical skills. Throughout the course students will gain these skills while covering aspects of physical, inorganic and organic chemistry. The course will also provide you with extensive laboratory training throughout all years of the course and thereby enhance your employability further. The BSc Chemistry course will provide you with rigorous training that will ensure you graduate with the skills necessary to pursue a career in chemistry or a related field.

Course Details – Assessment Method

Students are assessed in practical work and theory. In most modules the module mark is derived from coursework performed throughout the academic year, which can take a variety of forms including laboratory work, data analysis, essays, oral presentations etc., and from written theory examinations, also in a variety of formats, at the end of the academic year. Some modules also include laboratory practical exams. Level 4 modules introduce you to the standards and types of assessment used at university. Some have theory exams staged at intervals throughout the year. Although they do not contribute to your final Honours grade, you are expected to achieve at least 40% in all Level 4 modules. Your final Honours grade uses marks from Level 5 and Level 6 modules only. Your Level 4 modules prepare you to do your best in these later years. A wide variety of assessment methods are used including: Unseen or closed examinations; Seen examinations using precis of work, literature papers, reviews, books etc.; Open examinations; Problem based cases studies; Multiple choice questions; Practical reports; Tutorials; Workshops; Essays; Data analysis; Poster presentations; Oral presentations, Portfolios, Final year research project and dissertation.
