Chemistry Research Placement 2 (F1193)

Level 5

Summer vacation

You learn about research methods and practices while developing your knowledge and understanding of chemistry. This is particularly valuable if you are considering a research career.

During the summer vacations of your research placement, you work as a member of one of the department's research groups and receive a stipend to cover your living costs.

During your research placement, you explore research methods, learn to understand and use scientific literature, and develop practical skills.

The placement can be done in the same research group each year or a different one in different years. You work on a project to contribute to the research programme of the group.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2024/25. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
