To apply for this programme, candidates must already hold one of the following qualifications:

An initial honours degree of Wrexham Glyndŵr University or another approved degree-awarding body with a minimum of 2:2 honours degree* which has a significant content of a Chemical, Forensic or Analytical Science equivalent to SCI509 Analytical Methods and SCI512 Instrumental Analysis.

Equivalent qualifications of another overseas country that are deemed satisfactory by the programme team.

A non-graduate may also be considered, provided that they hold:

A non-graduate qualification, which the University deems to be of a satisfactory standard for the purpose of post-graduate admission.

Have relevant work experience at a level that is deemed to compensate for the lack of formal qualifications, and have held a position of responsibility within the Chemistry or Forensic sector for a minimum of three years.

*Students who have scored less than 60% (or 2.1 equivalent) in their undergraduate dissertation or equivalent research project module and all non-graduates will be offered a conditional place subject to the successful completion of the pre-entry bridging course in Preparing for Academic Success.

In cases where there is lack of clarity, or a need to gain deeper insight into a candidate’s suitability for the programme of study, an informal interview with the candidate may be held, which may be undertaken via Skype or other distance communication technology. This will allow the candidate an opportunity to provide evidence to the satisfaction of the interview panel of his/her ability to complete academic work of the required standard in the subject area, and to successfully complete the scheme of study proposed.

Prospective students may also apply for the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) against specific modules in accordance with Wrexham Glyndŵr University regulations.

In some exceptional circumstances, students undertaking a placement or research project (dissertation) may be required to obtain a relevant DBS. For example, if working within schools, fieldschools or at museums where contact with children or vulnerable people could be required.

It is the students’ responsibility to determine this requirement with the relevant external institution, and to contact the Student Programmes Centre to organise for the check to be completed in advance of any placement or research project. Any DBS checks required to complete the programme of study will be paid for by the university.
