| Course description | This course, together with Chemistry/Chemical Physics Year Abroad Level 11 (alongside which it must always be taken), constitutes 12 months full-time study at an approved university outside Europe. The two courses are optional Year 4 curricula for students on the MChem degree programmes Chemistry with a year Abroad, Chemistry with Environmental and Sustainable Chemistry and a year Abroad, Medicinal and Biological Chemistry with a year Abroad, Chemistry with Materials Chemistry with a year Abroad and Chemical Physics with a year Abroad. During the period students undertake an extended research project on a topic agreed with their host supervisor. Taught courses may also be attended and may be chosen from those available at the university at an appropriate level and relevance to students' interests and degree programme. Coursework for completion during the year is provided by the University of Edinburgh. Assessment consists of marks for coursework, a literature survey related to the project, a written project report, an oral presentation and aspects of performance in the project. |
