Analytical and Forensic Chemistry Specialisation

This specialization will focus on learning to use sophisticated scientific instruments to solve complex analytical problems. You’ll also develop effective problem-solving and decision-making skills within the ethical and professional context of analytical and forensic science.

What you'll learn

  • Have demonstrated further and expanded knowledge and understanding in chemistry that is typically at a level that, whilst supported by advanced textbooks, includes some aspects that will be informed by knowledge of the forefront of analytical and forensic chemistry, GC1
  • Can apply their further and expanded knowledge and understanding in a manner that indicates a professional approach to chemistry, and have competencies typically demonstrated through devising and sustaining arguments (to both specialist and non-specialist audiences) and solving problems within analytical and forensic chemistry, including using digital technologies, GC2,GC3
  • Can gather and interpret relevant data within chemistry to inform judgements that include reflection on relevant social, scientific, or ethical issues, including being aware of the diversity of international perspectives associated with chemistry, and how these impact upon the practice of chemistry, GC4,GC5
  • Display a high standard of professional behaviour, including effective time management, both independently and as a team member, GC6
