This course will build upon previous courses to cover advanced material in the fields of modern environmental-analytical and organic chemistry.
Analytical chemistry will cover modern and advanced methods in mass spectrometry and trace analysis, and environmental toxicology.
Organic chemistry will cover a range of reactive intermediates and syntheses required for modern organic synthesis. Both synthetic and naturally occurring compounds will be studies in terms of structure, reactions and pathways.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
