Chemistry

The Master in Chemical Sciences will be awarded to students who have shown:
· To have knowledge and understanding that is founded upon and extends that of the Bachelor's level in Chemistry, and that provides a basis for originality in developing and applying ideas within a research context;
· To have competences which fit them for employment as professional chemists in chemical and related industries or in public service;
· To have attained a standard of knowledge and competence which will give them access to third cycle course units or degree programmes.
Such graduates will:
· have the ability to apply their knowledge and understanding, and problem solving abilities, in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to chemical sciences;
· have the ability to integrate knowledge and handle complexity, and formulate judgements with incomplete or limited information, but that include reflecting on ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgements;
· have the ability to communicate their conclusions, and the knowledge and rationale underpinning these, to specialist and non-specialist audiences clearly and unambiguously;
· have developed those learning skills that will allow them to continue to study in a manner that may be largely self-directed or autonomous, and to take responsibility for their own professional development.
