This section describes which Units you will take in which year of study. It indicates which units are mandatory and where you will be able to choose. The overall pass marks you will need to achieve in order to progress or achieve an award are shown. The full regulations concerning progression and completion are held in the University's Regulations and Code of Practice. Any particular aspects of your programme that are unusual will be highlighted. If any Units are must pass this will be shown below. The linked unit specifications detail any additional requirements.
What do the teaching blocks (TB) mean?
The maximum period of study for full-time students is 4 years. This catalogue only shows the taught units on the programme and may not show all years of study.
The MRes is an exit point from the PhD in Technology Enhanced Chemical Synthesis and may be awarded to students who leave the PhD following successful completion of the first year of study, comprising the units outlined below.
| Unit name | Unit code | Credit points | Status | Teaching Block |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| To progress to the PhD research component, 120cp is required to be taken in year one (or over two years if part time). The MRes exit award will only be made where the full 180cp has been completed. | ||||
| Research Directions in Synthetic and Digital Chemistry | CHEMM0041 | 20 | Mandatory | TB-4 |
| Advanced Topics and Techniques in Synthetic and Digital Chemistry | CHEMM0040 | 20 | Mandatory | TB-4 |
| Practical Applications of Synthetic and Digital Chemistry | CHEMM0039 | 40 | Mandatory | TB-2 |
| Group Projects in Synthetic and Digital Chemistry | CHEMM0037 | 40 | Mandatory | TB-1 |
| The Research Project in Synthetic and Digital Chemistry unit should only be taken if writing up for a MRes exit award. | ||||
| Research Project in Synthetic and Digital Chemistry | CHEMM0038 | 60 | Optional | AYEAR |
| Technology Enhanced Chemical Synthesis (MRes) | 180 | |||
The assessment of the taught component of a doctoral degree is governed by the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes and is assessed separately from the research project. Progression to the research project may be dependent on the successful completion of the taught component - please refer to the relevant handbook for the structure of the particular programme.
The pass mark set by the University for any level 7(M) unit is 50 out of 100.
It may be possible to exit the programme with a taught award. For detailed rules on progression please see the Regulations and Code of Practice for Research Programmes and the relevant faculty handbook.
