Chemical Research MSc

Our Chemical Research programme gives you the opportunity to acquire key research skills while conducting a large individual research project in your chosen area of chemistry. It will provide comprehensive preparation for a research career in academia (PhD), as well as being a real asset if you wish to pursue alternative careers in industry or education.<br/><br/>You will receive training in a wide range of research techniques to enable you to build up a substantial profile of experimental skills so that you can tackle research projects with confidence. Typically this includes hands-on use of instrumentation for nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, chromatographic and vacuum systems, the manipulation of air-sensitive materials, and training in state-of-the-art scientific computing and modelling.<br/><br/>As well as completing a large-scale research project students will enrol on two 15 credit modules, consisting of lectures and workshops.
