CBMS302: Chemistry Capstone
This unit provides an opportunity to take an overview of your studies in your Major, and a focus on how what you have learnt equips you for your next step, whether this is to further study, or into the workforce. We will examine the latest advances in chemistry, such as in Green Chemistry, molecular recognition and drug design through guest lectures from leading researchers. We will look at the idea of the “ethical chemist”, and through workshops with industry employers and recruiters we will get you ready to apply for positions in industry and academia. An important part of the course will be a self-directed laboratory investigation into a topic of current interest, such as biodiesel synthesis and characterisation, development of novel materials, and new synthesis methods. You will plan and carry out the investigation, and report on the outcomes. You will have the opportunity to use sophisticated research instruments and to refine your laboratory skills.
