Summary Of Content:

This module will give students the opportunity to undertake a research project in Chemistry. A wide range of projects will be available and students will be offered a selection of research areas. All projects will require a review of relevant published work and the planning and execution of a research topic under the guidance of two supervisors. Students will present their findings orally and in a written report. 
For students on CF71, the project will be allocated such that it fits into Medicinal & Biological Chemistry research in its broadest sense.

To allow student to experience chemistry research and to receive research training appropriate to their project. Successful students will have:
1. collected, read and understood the background literature relevant to their project;
2. designed and carried out experiments which have made some contribution to knowledge in their area of study
3. reported and critically evaluated their work in writing and
4. made a clear oral presentation of their results
