The Final Year Project module is designed to develop the skills necessary to undertake independent research. Students select from a variety of topics and plan, execute and report at the end of the project. Projects will be available in a wide range of topics including synthetic (organic or inorganic), physical (catalysis, electrochemistry, surface science, modeling, nanoparticles), nanotechnology, biochemistry or interdisciplinary theme, according to staff own interests and abilities. Other research based problems may also be possible. The topic does not necessary have to be research or laboratory based, although these would be expected to cover the majority of cases. The aims of the module will differ slightly according to topic, however, the general aims of the module are: _x000D_
- To expose the student to a contemporary research in chemistry._x000D_
- To enable students to plan, execute and report on a project of their own design. _x000D_
- To learn the use of appropriate characterization techniques for the topic taken._x000D_
- To acquire the ability to analyze experimental data and have some understanding of the experimental outcomes._x000D_
- To develop an ability to work independently and be self-critical in the evaluation of risks, experimental procedures and creative thinking skills._x000D_
- To learn the use of the library and other information resources as research tools or more generic tools for the appropriation of information._x000D_
- To enable student to apply skills in report writing and presentation to an extended project. _x000D_
