Description for 2024/25

In this specialist MChem module, you will revisit key concepts from core first and second year chemistry to help develop deeper understanding of these concepts to help you apply these to advanced topics in chemistry and medicinal chemistry in the final year. This module will help you to draw links between different topics, promoting a holistic approach to the learning of chemistry, with a focus on developing your oral presentation and examination skills through the oral assessments in this module.

Aims
to enable students to develop and display a broad understanding of the chemistry course and the links between topics;
to develop synthesis, problem solving and organisational skills.

Talis Aspire Reading List
Any reading lists will be provided by the start of the course.
