Requisites: Before taking this module you must take CH22034
Learning Outcomes: Appraise the current literature, identifying key concepts and emerging areas, in a chosen topic, critically judging the reliability and significance of the chemical information identified; Reflect on and summarise your literature review findings coherently; Design an experimental protocol to safely investigate a research topic and record observations and data in an efficient manner; Analyse and interpret the collected data to draw appropriate conclusions, relating the results to the current context of the field; Produce an accurate account of your findings, communicating these in a variety of formats.


Synopsis: This unit will give you the skills required for retrieving information from the chemical literature, together with the opportunity to undertake an independent investigative research project.

Content: Semester 1: In conjunction with a supervisor, a topic of recent chemical importance will be selected. You will select the key literature in the area and use these to prepare a detailed, critical survey of the area. You will need to prepare a report on your chosen topic in semester 1 and present your findings via an oral presentation and written report. Several skills session (e.g. literature searches) will be available. Semester 2: A research topic will be selected with a supervising member of staff and a programme of experimental work planned. You will then manage and perform an independent study into the area. You will prepare a short report (in an academic journal format) and have a viva-voce examination on your project.
