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 a research laboratory outside the UK, normally at a university with which an exchange scheme is in place. 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.
