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 remotely by online assessment. This assessment will account for 25% of the course mark with the remaining 75% for final written report and oral presentation.
Students are also required to return to Bristol for a 3 hour end of unit written exam as part of the physics distance learning.
The reading needed for this course will be made available via the Distance Learning module.
