This degree gives students a solid background in the chemical sciences, whilst also focusing on the application of this ‘central science’ in specific industries. Throughout their studies, students will apply their knowledge in their companies and develop practical and theoretical skills.
During the first two years students will develop a sound understanding of theoretical and practical aspects of chemistry, with core content delivered across traditional areas (organic, inorganic and physical chemistry). Following this they will pick elective modules, developed in collaboration with industry, relevant to their career. These elective modules will provide a direct link between the student’s core learning and the application of chemistry in their industrial area.
Laboratory and study skills will be taught in two week summer schools whilst all other learning is taught at distance, negating the need for a day release system, providing flexibility fort student and employer.Training Outcome:On completion of the apprenticeship, successful candidates could secure a role in a successful, dynamic company.Employer Description:Tronox is the largest vertically integrated titanium dioxide producer in the world, the largest producer of merchant titanium chemicals, and the leading manufacturer of specialty titanium products.
