Jonathan Dolan,
MChem graduate
The MChem course at Keele gave
me support in fi nding a PhD and
confi dence that I had what it takes.
The mixed assessment of reports,
exams, lab practicals, presentations and
vivas proved that I could eff ectively
and effi ciently communicate my
science to a range of audiences. The
laboratory classes and the openness of
the analytical equipment (NMRs, IR,
UV-Vis) meant I was ready to from day
one for operation of the equipment and
analysis of my data.
