Working in our modern laboratories, complete with industry standard equipment, you will develop a range of practical skills in an authentic learning environment. You will develop specific computational chemistry skills, working with sophisticated professional software in our IT suites. All Northumbria students also benefit from Technology Enabled Learning (TEL) which provides online access to module information, key texts, assessment briefs and a range of teaching-related materials. You will learn from experienced staff at the forefront of their fields, with all teaching staff in the Department of Applied Sciences educated to PhD level. Most academic staff are research active and this knowledge is reflected in their teaching. Staff have an open door policy meaning they are on hand to provide any guidance that you might need. Many of our teaching team have previously worked in higher education, research and industry, including organisations such as Unilever, the John Innes Centre, Roche Products Ltd, and are able to draw on real world experience to keep their teaching current and industry-relevant. As members of professional bodies such as the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and the Higher Education Academy (HEA), the chemistry team have excellent international links, collaborating with others across the globe in pursuit of ground-breaking advances in chemistry.
