B.Sc. Chemistry with 1 year in Industry

Entry requirements	Course code
BBB at A-level including Chemistry (unavailable after entry 2011).	F104, BSc / CHM

 

Please note this course is to be withdrawn shortly and will be replaced with the MSci in Chemistry with Professional studies.

This 4 year programme leads to an honours level BSc undergraduate qualification in chemistry, and is recognised by both the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Institute of Chemistry in Ireland.  While providing dedicated subject specific learning in addition to industrial experience, it strongly emphasises opportunities to develop generic problem solving and reflective working practices applicable to a range of career paths and patterns of employability.

The first two years are in common with both the MSci and BSc in Chemistry Programmes. At the completion of the first year, students wishing to go on a placement must meet the appropriate requirements based on grades obtained in year 1 with passes in all six modules at the first attempt, and an interview with academic staff. The students meeting with the pathway’s requirements will then go through an industrial selection process conducted by the host companies at the beginning of Level 2 for their third-year placement. While the process is organised by the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, the School does not guarantee the availability of a suitable industrial placement; placements are at the discretion of the host company. Students who fail to meet the required standards or fail to secure an internship, are transferred on to either the BSc or MSci Chemistry programmes as appropriate.

After their year internship, the students rejoin the Chemistry BSc pathway at Queen’s, taking Level 3 as in their 4^th year.
