About the Course

Bachelor Degree of Science – Chemical Analysis – TA 311 – Level 7 - THIS COURSE IS FOR ENTRY 2011

The Level 7 Degree in Chemical Analysis provides a very practical skills-based course which provides graduates with a broad range of highly sought-after capabilities in the application of modern, chemically based analytical techniques. In addition to developing analytical skills, students get the opportunity to participate in process development and in the design and validation of analytical techniques.

The 4 main areas of Chemistry (Organic, Inorganic, Physical and Analytical) are covered along with other very relevant modules covering applied topics (environmental chemistry, good laboratory practices and material science). All modules covered are important for potential employers as they give the graduates an in-depth knowledge of many topics in Chemistry.

At the end of the B.Sc. in Chemical Analysis, the student will have achieved an in-depth knowledge of chemical analysis, synthesis and characterization of compounds and the applied areas such as materials and environmental chemistry. For many graduates the B.Sc. is a stepping stone to the BSc (Hons) in Applied Chemistry and, for an increasing number, far beyond.
