This course, together with Chemistry Year in Europe Level 10 (alongside which it must always be taken), constitutes full-year full-time study at an approved university in Europe (excluding UK). The two courses are the standard Year 4 curriculum for students on the degree programmes Chemistry with a Year in Europe, or Chemistry with Environmental Chemistry and a Year in Europe. Students spend a full academic year studying at their chosen university and undertake an extended research project on a topic agreed with their host supervisor. Taught courses may also be attended and may be chosen from those available at the university at an appropriate level and relevance to students' interests and degree programme. Assessment consists of marks for a written report of the project and aspects of the performance on the project. Students undertaking the year in Europe are normally expected to attend and pass appropriate language courses during their first two years of study at the University of Edinburgh.

? Pre-requisites : Completion of Year 3 of a Chemistry degree programme.

Home subject area

Successful completion of the year in Europe course requires students to:
- execute a significant research project within the discipline of chemistry
- demonstrate a critical understanding of the background, theories and concepts relating to the work undertaken during the year
- demonstrate competence in a range of routine and advanced skills (technical, IT, etc.) appropriate to the project
- successfully communicate formally (presentations, reports, etc) and informally with peers and specialists within the work environment
- consolidate on academic chemistry covered in earlier parts of the degree programme
- develop and enhance language skills over an extended period of living within the host country and culture

This course is assessed entirely on the basis of coursework.
