Cash for HE chemistry experience
Ten projects designed to improve students' initial experience of studying chemistry have received funding through the Chemistry for Our Future programme
The HE projects represent the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)-led initiative's first significant investment into curriculum development at this level. Launched in September 2006 with £3.6m of Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) cash for a two-year pilot phase, Chemistry for our future aims to ensure a strong and sustainable chemistry presence within HE).
The 10 pilot projects were selected from 27 project proposals by a CFOF group chaired by Professor Pat Bailey of the University of Manchester. Each project aims to develop first-year undergraduate provision so that it supports better students' transition from secondary schools and FE colleges to chemistry courses in tertiary education. The project proposals together address the key areas of maths skills, practical skills, student support schemes and new teaching materials.
