| Summary of Module |
|---|
This module covers key issues relating to the manufacture of industrial fine chemicals and their intermediates, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, agrochemicals and pigments. Synthetic planning involved in producing these different types of materials will be covered. Different manufacturing routes to key industrial intermediates will be compared and contrasted in terms of their potential. The aims of chemical development in scaling up manufacturing processes will be described with a comparison of the different priorities involved in designing a synthesis for the research lab versus a synthesis designed to produce materials on the large scale. Various case studies from important areas of industrial chemistry will be presented, illustrating these concepts.
The graduate attributes relevant to this module are given below:
- Academic: Critical thinker, analytical, enquiring, knowledgeable, digitally literate, problem solver, autonomous, incisive, innovative
- Personal: Effective communicator, influential, motivated, team player
- Professional: Collaborative, research-minded, enterprising, ambitious, driven

Face-To-Face
Term used to describe the traditional classroom environment where the students and the lecturer meet synchronously in the same room for the whole provision.
Blended
A mode of delivery of a module or a programme that involves online and face-to-face delivery of learning, teaching and assessment activities, student support and feedback. A programme may be considered “blended” if it includes a combination of face-to-face, online and blended modules. If an online programme has any compulsory face-to-face and campus elements it must be described as blended with clearly articulated delivery information to manage student expectations
Fully Online
Instruction that is solely delivered by web-based or internet-based technologies. This term is used to describe the previously used terms distance learning and e learning.
HybridC
Online with mandatory face-to-face learning on Campus
HybridO
Online with optional face-to-face learning on Campus
Work-based Learning
Learning activities where the main location for the learning experience is in the workplace.

| Learning and Teaching |
|---|
| This module covers a wide variety of theoretical, conceptual and practical areas, which require a range of knowledge and skills at a more advanced level to be displayed and exercised. Delivery of the syllabus content therefore involves a diversity of teaching and assessment methods suitable to the learning outcomes of the module; these include formal lectures, guided reading, structured tutorials (work closely integrated with the lecture material), laboratory demonstrations, completion and submission of written coursework making use of appropriate forms of IT and VLE, and independent study. |
