The module is available to all students on the above programmes and is offered to suitably qualified occasional students. For the latter, enrolment is determined on a case-by-case basis using academic transcripts.
Exclusions
Description
This module comprises six courses, two each in the areas of solid-state inorganic chemistry, bioorganic chemistry and computational chemistry. Students are required to choose two courses from the six available.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module students should be able to: (depending on the options chosen)
Demonstrate an understanding of the principles and concepts associated with computational chemistry;
Apply their acquired knowledge to the solution of problems in computational chemistry (within the context of the course)
Appreciate how computational chemistry, as an investigative tool, is complementary to experiment.
Demonstrate an understanding of the principles and concepts associated with bioorganic chemistry;
Apply their acquired knowledge to the solution of problems in bioorganic/biological chemistry;
Discuss the important types of molecules associated with bioorganic chemistry (amino acids, proteins, nucleotides etc.), and their properties;
Appreciate the essential role chemistry plays in understanding biological systems.
Demonstrate an understanding of the principles, concepts and applications associated with microporous inorganic solids;
Apply their acquired knowledge to the solution of problems focussed on the preparation, characterisation and/or use of microporous inorganic solids;
Demonstrate an understanding of the principles, theory and applications associated with superconducting materials to include both cuprate and pnictide superconductors;
Apply their acquired knowledge to the solution of problems focussed on the preparation (including optimisation of the superconducting properties), characterisation and/or use of superconductors.
