CHEMISTRY AND MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY | 17 Sustainable Chemistry – as part of Keele’s commitment to green technology and sustainability we have embedded sustainable chemistry within our courses so that our students understand the impact we make on the planet and how chemistry can help minimise this. Industry Standard – at Keele we have the policy that we only buy, and train our students on, the best equipment. Our graduates need to be able to enter the jobs market with the skills and knowledge of how to use cutting edge research grade equipment and that is why we train you on this from day one. EXTERNAL EXAMINER’S QUOTE Lecture Capture – many of our lectures are recorded. So say you are revising a topic and you can’t understand your own notes then you can access the lecture capture and replay that moment. Student feedback “This was excellent and is undoubtedly one of the strengths of the chemistry department. The amount and detail of feedback returned to students via the Keele Learning Environment is admirable” Prelaboratory Exercises – designed so that you get the most out of the time you spend in the laboratory, these prelabs help you work through the theory, data handling and practical techniques required to undertake the experiments successfully. Authentic Experiments – laboratory experiments are based directly on real life contexts or theories discussed in lectures and help students develop skills in handling complex data as well as key chemical techniques. Practical Exam – there is a lot to learn in the lab. Our first year laboratory course has been designed to provide a progressive introduction into practical chemistry, how to use equipment and design experiments. Each semester there is a practical exam to test you on the skills you have acquired. keele.ac.uk/chemistry
