Advanced Chemistry I - CBMS188

This unit is offered on a pass/fail basis.

This unit is a full-year unit based on contemporary topics in chemistry and biomolecular sciences. It is comprised of weekly research-focussed seminars and discussions. This unit caters for advanced students who are strong in chemistry and/or science and who are interested in pursuing a scientific career. It aims to encourage well-qualified students to reach their full potential. This unit is an extension of CBMS102 General Chemistry and CBMS103 Organic and Biological Chemistry. The unit will treat some topics in more depth and introduce others that are not covered in the regular undergraduate units. The weekly one-hour discussion sessions will also address recent advances in the molecular sciences. Student discussions are led by research scientists of the Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences and each student is mentored by a third year advanced chemistry student. In addition, students are encouraged to participate in the research activities of the department over the summer recess through vacation scholarships.
