The MRes Analytical & Forensic Chemistry programme is designed to introduce students to a wide range of industry-standard and novel techniques applicable in forensic analysis. - Career opportunities are available not only in the forensic sector; the key problem-solving and analytical skills developed in forensic and analytical science are widely sought after in many other industrial sectors, including the oil, gas, pharmaceutical, and food industries. - The programme promotes the enhancement of technical understanding with emphasis on problem-solving and team/group working, awareness and, where possible, the practice of the latest developments in the discipline, and increased capability for independent learning and work through case studies and projects. - Students will be encouraged to take on a degree of responsibility, formulating ideas proactively, dealing with open-ended and unfamiliar problems, planning and developing strategies, implementing and executing agreed plans, leading and managing teams where required and evaluating their own work and achievements. - The elements within the curriculum of this programme will help to prepare students for successful careers in a variety of scientific fields. Blended learning with a mix of flexible self-directed study at home, with rich face-to-face teaching experiences. Key Course Features - Receive training in the use of a wide range of high-level instrumentation. - Taught modules to develop understanding of the principles and application of research relevant to your discipline followed by a research project. - Undertake a tailored research project in industry or in — Glyndŵr University's scientific research laboratories. - Develop strong systematic knowledge of analytical and forensic chemistry. - Gain proficiency in the application of acquired knowledge to challenging scenarios. - Build transferable skills to further career progression or to prepare for doctoral study. This degree is offered in full-time and part-time modes of attendance. There is a blended approach of online delivery and scheduled attendance. You will only have to attend university during specified block delivery weeks for modules requiring practical work, or face-to-face sessions. The in-person modules include Advanced Research Skills, Forensic Analytical Chemistry, and Human Osteology. You will attend the university for two or three days of a specified week for each module when studying either full or part-time, in addition to studying in your own time.
Getting in
As the university states it
To apply for this programme, candidates must already hold one of the following qualifications: 1. An initial honours degree of — University or another approved degree-awarding body with a minimum of 2:2 honours degree which has a significant content of a Chemical, Forensic or Analytical Science equivalent to SCI509 Analytical Methods and SCI512 Instrumental Analysis. 2. Equivalent qualifications of another overseas country that are deemed satisfactory by the programme team. A non-graduate may also be considered, provided that they hold: 1. A non-graduate qualification, which the University deems to be of a satisfactory standard for the purpose of post-graduate admission. 2. Have relevant work experience at a level that is deemed to compensate for the lack of formal qualifications, and have held a position of responsibility within the Chemistry or Forensic sector for a minimum of three years. Students who have scored less than 60% (or 2.1 equivalent) in their undergraduate dissertation or equivalent research project module will be offered an interview prior to any place being offered. In the case where there is a lack of clarity or need to gain deeper insight into a candidate’s suitability for the programme, an informal interview with the candidate may be held, which may be undertaken via Skype or other distance communication technology. This will allow the candidate an opportunity to provide evidence to the satisfaction of the interview panel of his/her ability to complete academic work of the required standard in the subject area. Prospective students may also apply for the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) against specific modules in accordance with — University regulations. In some exceptional circumstances, students undertaking a placement or research project (dissertation) may be required to obtain a relevant DBS. For example, if working within schools, fieldschools or at museums where contact with children or vulnerable people could be required. It is the students’ responsibility to determine this requirement with the relevant external institution, and to contact Student Administration to organise for the check to be completed in advance of any placement or research project. Any DBS checks required to complete the programme of study will be paid for by the university.
