Gain a solid foundation in the key branches of chemistry and understand its role in everyday life. You’ll study organic synthesis, spectroscopic analysis, the Periodic Table, reactivity, bonding, molecular shape, thermodynamics, and kinetics. Practical learning is central: you’ll carry out online and remote experiments, and attend a compulsory 2.5-day laboratory school at our Milton Keynes campus to develop your investigative skills. This certificate is particularly valuable if you wish to teach chemistry up to Key Stage 4, or if you’re considering teacher training with a chemistry specialism.**Key features of the course**- Gain a foundation in organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry- Develop investigative and laboratory skills using our state-of-the-art, multi-award-winning OpenSTEM Labs- Practice hands-on skills at laboratory schools, and meet other OU chemistry students
