Karl Hampton, a Part 3 MChem Chemistry with a Year in Industry student, currently on placement at Malvern Instruments in Great Malvern, has published a paper in the Journal of Chromatography A.
It’s great to see work from placement students getting published in the scientific literature. As well as being a fantastic achievement for Karl, engaging undergraduate students with research is one of the University’s Teaching and Learning Enhancement Priorities, and the industrial placements available on our MChem and BSc programmes are just one of the many ways in which the department provides such opportunities.
