This unit is a year spent on an industrial placement. It comprises a period spent with an Industrial Supervisor carrying out one or more chemistry or physics sprojects within that industry. It is analogous to CHEM30003 but with a change to the distance learning component to introduce Physics and Chemical Physics components. The distance learning will comprise (i) Chemistry coursework questions as for the Chemistry with Industrial Experience (F105) programme, but restricted to Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, (ii) Distance learning of solid state physics.
Practical training in research methods through supervised work
Much teaching will be provided on the job by members of staff at the company. Formal academic teaching will be entirely by distance learning using e-learning methods.
Students will be assessed on their industrial placement through a final written report and oral presentation. This component will contribute 75% of the unit mark.
Students will also be assessed for the remote learning component by online assessment. This distance-learning component will account for 25% of the unit mark. Students must pass this distance learning component to receive credit for the unit.
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. CHEM30025).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
