TR061 Chemical Sciences

TR061 Junior Sophister 2024-2025

holding

Having successfully completed the first and second years, of the Chemical Sciences programme, you must now decide on the discipline in which you wish to specialise for your moderatorship. For some of you this will be an easy decision, as you have known from entry the subject you wish to study. For others the choice may be more difficult. However, it is important for all of you to be open-minded and reflect carefully on the broad range of topics presented in the Freshman Chemical Sciences modules.

My strong advice to you is - follow your interests! You will excel in the areas of Chemical Sciences in which you are most interested. Please read the TR061 Sophister Programme booklet carefully and then complete the TR061 Moderatorship Preference Form via the link below.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Students should ensure that module choices over JF and SF years fulfil the requisites to apply for a place in the preferred Moderatorship(s).
