Only available to students on M.Chem programmes with a study year abroad component.
Aims & Learning Objectives: Students will gain experience of living and studying in a University outside the UK. They will have the opportunity to develop personal and linguistic skills in addition to developing their knowledge and understanding of chemistry and its applications. After studying this Unit, students should be able to: * develop personal and interpersonal communication skills; * demonstrate the ability to work and interact effectively in a group environment in which cultural norms and ways of operating may be unfamiliar; * operate effectively with people from a different cultural background; * (where appropriate) improve their knowledge of the host language by attending classes therein and interacting with native speakers. Content: A period of up to 6 months will be spent in an approved University outside the UK. The precise programme of study will normally involve a project in a chemical science as well as attendance at appropriate other classes. The programme will vary considerably depending on the host University but will be largely related to the chemical sciences and will be agreed in advance with the Director of Studies. The academic level of the programme will be at a similar level to those taken by Year 3 MChem students at Bath. |
