Course Overview

One of the leading universities in the United Kingdom, the University of York has prepared the Exploring Everyday Chemistry certification with the help of FutureLearn. This is a free course that is taught in an online format with a special emphasis on what role organic Chemistry plays in the study of organic compounds containing carbon. This course is ideal for students who are sixth formers for the development of independent learning skills.

The Exploring Everyday Chemistry certification syllabus has a range of topics which is based on chemistry that has impacts on our daily lives. The several activities that are included in this syllabus are hands-on projects that range from drawing out a fragrance to finding out by testing the spice’s activities in relation to microbes.

Exploring Everyday Chemistry training is divided into 4 weeks that use real-life incidents to showcase how the organic compounds’ structure and shape are used further to explain their properties and reactivity.

What you will learn

Knowledge of Chemistry

This course will provide knowledge regarding a lot of topics like the following: 

  • Candidates will be able to find a different range of natural and synthetic attractants.
  • Learners will be able to identify the action of antibiotics and understand the resistance of bacteria.
  • Candidates will be able to discuss the current theories that will be of help in explaining chemical structure that has a relation to smell.
  • For designing new drugs candidates can give a description regarding new areas of research.
  • Candidates can engage themselves with the process of brewing for identifying key flavoring compounds.
  • The learners can learn to discuss the role analytical methods have to play.

Who it is for

If candidates have a certain interest in the subject of chemistry then they can surely opt for the course. Though it will be useful mainly for sixth formers who want to study science subjects later at the university by supporting their UCAS personal statement so that the candidate’s chemistry knowledge increases.


Admission Details

If candidates are interested in any information on the procedure of admission then they should see these steps below:

Step 1: During the first step visits the official website of the course.

Step 2: Then the ‘Join course for free’ button has to be found on the FutureLearn website by the candidates.
