Students who are accepted may elect to specialise in any of the areas of chemistry on offer in the department. In the first half of the year there will be a series of advanced units, three of which will be common to all students, and four others can be chosen from a variety of options. In addition, students will be working on a research project throughout the year and will be introduced to the research methods in the area of specialisation under the guidance of a supervisor. During the year two essays related to the project are required and students will attend and deliver seminars in their broad area of research. The honours year normally commences early in February, by arrangement with the supervisor. A minor thesis is required at the end of the year. Mid-year entry is also permitted.

Assessment

Examinations (on average, one 2-hour examination in each of the seven units): 50% * Research report and oral examination on research project: 50%
