| Course description | This course, together with Chemistry/Chemical Physics Year in Industry Level 10 (alongside which it must always be taken), constitutes full-year full-time placement work within an approved chemical company or research institute. The two courses are the standard Year 4 curriculum for students on the degree programmes Chemistry with Industrial Experience, Medicinal and Biological Chemistry with Industrial Experience, Chemistry with Environmental Chemistry and Industrial Experience, or Chemical Physics with Industrial Experience. Students spend 12 months working on a project related to chemistry or chemical physics while employed by an approved company or research institute. Students are recruited by companies on a competitive basis and may choose those to which they wish to submit applications on the basis of their interests and preferred geographical location. Some continental European locations may be available to suitably qualified students. Assessment consists of marks for a written report of the project and aspects of the performance on the placement. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
Successful completion of the year on industrial placement course requires students to:
- execute a significant project of research, investigation or development
- demonstrate competence in a range of routine and advanced skills (technical, IT, etc.) appropriate to the placement
- demonstrate a critical understanding of the background, theories and concepts relating to the placement work undertaken
- work effectively in a professional relationship alongside qualified practioners and, in so doing, also to exercise significant autonomy and initiative in the professional environment
- successfully communicate formally (presentations, reports, etc) and informally with peers, senior colleagues and specialists
- offer professional-level insights, and creativity in responses to problems and issues
- relate academic chemistry covered in earlier parts of the degree programme to its relevance to industry |
