Chemistry is a linear, quantitative subject containing a significant volume of factual material. It is an experimental science where practical work, and development of practical skills, is important. This four-year programme is delivered through a mixture of double “Core” modules and single “add-on” modules using lectures, tutorials, problem classes and laboratory practical work, culminating in a major research project in the fourth year conducted on placement at an industrial research laboratory. Lectures provide the key information on a particular area, and form the main basis by which students learn the fundamental concepts and facts of the subject. Tutorials are a further means by which students acquire subject-specific knowledge, and also develop problem-solving skills embodying the concepts from lectures in a formative environment. Workshops are used in first year as revision sessions in preparation for end of year examinations, in later years they are used to consolidate factual knowledge and develop problem-solving skills.
