• To teach advanced experimental techniques in one of the areas of organic, inorganic and physical chemistry.
• To provide experience in the recording, analysis and reporting of physical data.
• To put into practice the methods of accessing, assessing and critically appraising the chemical literature. This will be achieved through a focused literature search culminating in a mini research project followed by individual oral and written presentations.
