The course provides a challenging and interesting introduction to the discipline of chemistry at an advanced level. This course is suited to students who wish to pursue a career in medicine, the pharmaceutical industry, environmental areas, engineering, or the chemical industries. It also develops the skills of analysis and enquiry, which are invaluable for a wide range of careers. Year 1 covers: Physical Chemistry: atomic structure, amount of substance, bonding, kinetics, equilibria, and redox reactions Inorganic Chemistry: periodicity, group 2 chemistry, and group 7 chemistry Organic Chemistry: organic compounds and isomerism, alkanes, halo-alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, and organic analysis. Practical Skills: experiments are designed to improve practical competence and introduce the student to a wide variety of techniques Year 2 covers: Physical Chemistry: thermodynamics, further kinetics and equilibria, electrode potentials and electrochemical cells, acids, bases, and buffers Inorganic chemistry: periodicity, transition metals, and reactions of inorganic compounds Organic Chemistry: stereoisomerism, carbonyl chemistry, aromatic chemistry, amines, amino-acids, DNA, organic synthesis and analysis, structure determination, and chromatography Practical Skills: building on Year 1 with more complexity and challenging analysis and evaluation You will develop key skills which are highly valued by employers, including: Data analysis Communication skills Applying knowledge to solve problems Practical ability The course is delivered using a variety of teaching and learning styles, including Smart board, PowerPoint and video presentations, as well as both group and practical work.
