MChem (Hons) Chemistry with Teaching Integrated Master's degree at Strathclyde

An important part of learning and personal development. It's not only associated with your university course, it allows you to plan for the future.

These lectures and tutorials cover all the broad areas of chemistry including: Analytical Chemistry, Structure & Bonding, Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Spectroscopy.

You will have one laboratory class per week which runs in both Semester 1 and Semester 2.

This module will provide you with a basic understanding of mathematical functions, differentiation, integration, complex numbers, matrices and vectors.

This module will provide you with a broad foundation in fundamental scientific thought and theory, underpinning your future as a professional scientist.

You can select elective modules freely from the University timetable subject to your possessing appropriate entrance qualifications, there being places available, and the times do not clash with compulsory chemistry classes. Subjects are available in: Science Engineering Business Arts & Humanities.

This module will provide you with a broad knowledge of the important concepts in inorganic chemistry from which more specialist topics can be tackled. This includes investigation of the chemistry of the main group and transition metals and introduces topics at the forefront of inorganic and materials chemistry.

This module covers the fundamental principles of infra-red, ultra-violet, nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectroscopy; develops competence in the interpretation of spectra and your awareness of the role of spectroscopic techniques. It will also develop your knowledge of reactions, understanding of mechanisms and appreciation of the role of reactivity in organic chemistry.

This module provides a broad knowledge of the important concepts in Thermodynamics, investigating the major features as applied to chemical systems. Topics include: the importance of reaction rates in chemical systems concepts of the electrode/solution interface equilibrium and electron transfer kinetics mass transport the composition and utilisation of fossil fuels with their environmental pollutants nuclear and renewable energy sources.

In this module you'll receive a practical demonstration of topics contained in the lectures. You'll develop basic laboratory skills in preparative chemistry and analysis, and gain experience in the applications of spectroscopy and common instrumental techniques.

You'll conduct experiments and gain practical experience of the theoretical aspects covered in lectures. You'll develop skills in the demonstration of physical chemical principles, observation, the use of statistical methods, interpretation of data and the writing of laboratory reports.

This module provides fundamental concepts of separation science and outlines its importance in obtaining information about analytes in a sample. Also covers the fundamental concepts of recovery of trace evidence and treatment of materials to provide identification. You're taught how to handle, examine and assess errors in chemical measurements.

This module provides you with an understanding of intermolecular forces and their importance in defining key aspects of chemical behaviour and molecular organization. It introduces: surface chemistry and the common systems in which it plays a major role the electronic structure of atoms and molecules through the prism of quantum chemistry group theory and how it can be applied to the determination of the symmetry of molecules and their properties the principles of bonding in molecules as describ
