Course Aims
To provide students with a broad scientific education at tertiary level, together with a wide and rigorous treatment of selected aspects of inorganic chemistry, appropriate for an aspiring professional chemist.
Intended Learning Outcomes of Course
Students should be able to demonstrate a knowledge and broad understanding of the central facts and the experimental basis of selected aspects of advanced modern inorganic chemistry. They should be able to solve problems of a numerical or logical nature in the context of this understanding. In addition students will be expected to obtain information from written and electronic archived material, to interpret critically this information and show ability in both written and oral skills.
