1. demonstrate an understanding of the physical basis for the properties, synthesis, and analysis of polymers, colloids, surfactants, and other molecular structures of importance in materials chemistry (on a level suitable as a basis for further study in the physical sciences at Honours or Postgraduate level for 300-level students);
2. apply this understanding to solve simple numerical problems in quantitative aspects of materials chemistry;
3. apply this understanding to seek out and critically assess the literature to report qualitatively on fundamental and applied materials chemistry and the social and environmental implications of materials chemistry;
4. apply this understanding to carry out and interpret simple experiments in materials chemistry;
5. outcomes 1 to 4 will be expected with a higher level of knowledge, interpretation, understanding, communication and laboratory skills.
