Entry is possible through an in-house HND programme. For details of our Curriculum 2000 policy statement please see the overview of the Faculty of Applied Sciences . The Royal Society of Chemistry normally admits as graduate members those students who obtain first or upper second class honours degrees. This provides a strong base on which to build chemical knowledge. A feature is Mathematics for Chemistry, which facilitates the mathematical skills needed later in the course.
Students also develop computer and technical presentation skills.
Year 2 covers the main branches of Chemistry during semester 1. By semester 2, students select the named degree route they wish to follow. Specialisation is introduced during this semester. The Professional Skills II module develops interpersonal skills. Guidance on interview techniques and drafting a CV is emphasised.
