"modules": "Year 1\nIn Year 1 you will cover general aspects of chemistry including organic, inorganic and physical chemistry along with two other science subjects. Laboratory sessions develop practical and communication skills. Students study a range of core modules \nwhich include the following: Structure of Chemistry, Chemistry and Reactions, Scientific Investigation, and ASPIRE.*\n*ASPIRE is a set of core modules which aim to enhance the academic, personal and professional development of students at UWS.\nYear 2\nIn Year 2 the core chemistry modules are designed to extend your knowledge of the traditional subject areas of inorganic, organic, physical, and analytical chemistry, in addition to introducing aspects of applied chemistry, spectroscopy and theoretical chemistry. Each of the modules contain both practical and coursework components allowing students to develop, practice and demonstrate a wide range of professional skills.\nThe core modules include the following: Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Chemical Laboratory Techniques, Inorganic Chemistry, Chemical Analysis and Evaluation, and ASPIRE.*\n*ASPIRE is a set of core modules which aim to enhance the academic, personal and professional development of students at UWS.\nYear 3\nThe study of education is introduced in Year 3 with a focus on key educational issues, cross-cutting curricular themes, contexts for learning and professional values.You will study chemistry modules that provide a foundation for the remaining honours year, as well as dealing with applied chemistry issues, the modules you will study include the following: Inorganic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and School & Professional Studies (L9). Progression to SCQF Level 9 is available to students who fulfil the university progression requirements and the GTCS requirements for entry to programmes of initial teacher \neducation.\nYear 4\nKnowledge and understanding of curriculum, pedagogy and assessment of chemistry and general science, and the skills and abilities to implement effective teaching and learning, are developed in Year 4 through campus teaching and school experience placements.\nYou will study the following modules: Organic Chemistry, Physical and Inorganic \nChemistry 4, Secondary STEM Subject Studies, and Secondary School Experience.",
