Stpm Chemistry Sem 2 2021

[Young Vadlapatla]

TheSijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM, English: Malaysian Higher School Certificate) is a pre-university examination taken by students in Malaysia. It was previously recognized as the Higher School Certificate (HSC). The HSC was the precursor to the GCE A Level in the UK and is still the name of the pre-university examination in some states in Australia.

The chemistry syllabus incorporates current developments in chemical studies and syllabus design in Malaysia. The syllabus will give candidates exposure to a pre-university level of Chemistry that

includes organic and inorganic chemistry, elements, kinetics, chemical bonding, halogen, hydroxyl, and carbonyl compounds, and polymers.

In this course, together with a Private Tutor, you will learn how to master the STPM chemistry exam. Your tutor will help you understand the relevant concepts, and assess your progress through practice exams.

Unlike other STPM chemistry tuitions, this course is a private one-on-one lesson. You will study at the perfect pace for you. You can expect to be sufficiently challenged and constantly improving, rather than wasting time reviewing concepts you already know.

As a student in Chemistry with Computing, you will be taught by experts in our highly respected departments of Chemistry and Computer Science. You will also enjoy access to our state-of-the-art facilities in STEMLab and high-quality computer labs.

Over the duration of the course you will study organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry and grow your practical laboratory skills, making use of the state-of-the-art facilities in our STEMLab. From the second year onwards you will learn computer programming and explore various techniques in modern computer-assisted chemistry.

Both the Chemistry BSc (Hons) degree and the Chemistry MChem (Hons) degree are orientated towards the practice of chemistry in the world outside the University. Our 3 (or 4 year sandwich) BSc equips you for employment in chemistry, scientific and other sectors. The 4 (or 5 year sandwich) MChem is suited for students who may wish to pursue a PhD or a career in industrial research.

If you choose to study our Chemistry with Computing you will experience the facilities housed in our recently opened STEMLab, as well enjoying access to additional refurbished lab space in our Sir David Davies building, and Loughborough's excellent facilities for computing. Plus, as a Loughborough University student you benefit from our peer mentoring scheme, supporting your transition into university life.

Lecturers from industry contribute to the teaching of our undergraduate courses and sponsor research projects, while the option of a placement year can provide a real boost to your employability. At Loughborough you'll be getting "hands on" in the lab while also growing the transferable skills looked for by employers.

Throughout your course you will be taught by academic staff who are engaged in wide-ranging research with real-world impact in such areas as health and medicine, crime and security, sustainability, and clean energy. Studying Chemistry with Computing at Loughborough, you will become part of a friendly, supportive, and international community of scientists devoted to tackling today's global challenges.

MChem students must obtain an average of 55% or above in Years 2 and 3 to progress to the next year of the course. Your MChem degree classification will be determined by the weighted average of your marks obtained in years 2, 3 and 4 in the ratio 20:40:40.

Your placement is spent at one or more organisations over 45 weeks, enabling you to get firsthand experience of a real role with real responsibilities. You will you be able to apply the knowledge and skills you have acquired in a workplace setting while developing the competencies that are highly prized by graduate recruiters. A year in industry also gives you the opportunity to grow your network of contacts, attend training courses, impress an employer and in some instances secure a graduate job. If you are still unsure what you want to do when you leave university, a placement enables you to "test-drive" a career and find out if a professional area is right for you.

At Loughborough we have robust, long-standing links with the chemical, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing industries, as well as companies in the technology and business sectors. Chemistry students have been able to spend a year working with such major companies as AstraZeneca, BioFocus, GlaxoSmithKline, 3M Healthcare, Lubrizol, RB (Reckitt-Benckiser), Nemaura Pharma, Pirelli Tyres, GE Healthcare, and the Home Office. Students studying computing degrees have been able to obtain placements with the likes of IBM, Microsoft and Samsung Electronics.

Loughborough University actively encourages students to gain an international experience. Students can do this through a study exchange or through a work placement outside of the UK. In both cases the opportunity to gain insight into another culture, broaden experience and develop both intellectual and personal maturity, is invaluable.

The synthetic chemistry teaching laboratory, located within the STEMLab building, has 36 fume hoods available for undergraduate teaching.
