Learning Outcomes:


Aims: To provide students with an opportunity to gain a years experience of working in a chemical company or related organisation. The placement will allow students to:
* Apply knowledge and skills gained at University to real applications of Chemistry and related areas.
* Demonstrate a range of "key skills" such as team work, time and project management, oral and written communication.
* Participate in an extended programme of scientific work and develop professional skills appropriate to that area of work.

Content: A laboratory or office based project with training programme will be conducted in a company or organisation approved by the Department of Chemistry. The content will depend on the precise requirements of the placement company.
