MSc Chemical Research

Students are provided intensive training in the methods and techniques of scientific research. Crucially this is all done ‘hands-on’, providing first-hand experience of using cutting-edge research tools. With departmental research activities spanning the whole of chemistry, including the development of new organic molecules, fundamental theoretical investigations and prediction and synthesis of new materials, students are able to undertake a project that aligns with their existing interests. This programme is also accredited by the RSC.
