Contemporary Research Awareness: research colloquia and seminars delivered by external speakers and covering areas within current chemical science research.
Literature Review for MSc: an in-depth survey of the published literature within a specified research area which is related to the prospective research project.
Research Skills in Chemistry: develops knowledge of specialised research techniques for the prospective research project.

Here is a sample of optional modules that may be offered.

Semester 1 – students choose four optional modules for the first semester.

Advanced Metal Chemistry
Advanced Spectroscopic Methods
Asymmetric Synthesis
Heterocyclic and Pericyclic Chemistry
Homogeneous Catalysis
Integrating Chemistry
Nanostructured Materials
Organic Chemistry Laboratory
Physical Chemistry Laboratory
Processing of Materials

Semester 2 – students choose three optional modules for the second semester.

Advanced Physical Inorganic Chemistry
Blockbuster Solids
Chemical Biology
Chemical Applications of Electronic Structure Calculations
Energy Conversion and Storage
Molecular Recognition
Natural Products, Biosynthesis and Enzyme Cofactors
Reactive Intermediates
Surface Science and Heterogeneous Catalysis

During the final three months of the course, students undertake a research project culminating in a 15,000-word dissertation. The project is supervised by a member of the academic staff, and the project topic and aims will be selected by both supervisor and student.

If students choose not to complete the dissertation requirement for the MSc, there is an exit award available that allows suitably qualified candidates to receive a Postgraduate Diploma. By choosing an exit award, you will finish your degree at the end of the second semester of study and receive a PGDip instead of an MSc.
