Chemistry PhD

Conduct cutting-edge research and gain expertise in a wide range of areas. Our Schools main research interests focus on materials for energy and electronics, and supramolecular, interfacial and synthetic chemistry.<br/><br/>Our research degrees are based around laboratory and computational research projects. PhD study involves a 3-4 year research project on a full-time basis, or 5-6 years part-time. In all our research degrees you undertake a single, focused, research project from day one, and attend components of our transferable skills modules. You are supervised by a team which comprises your main supervisor(s) as well as supervisory chairs that give independent advice on progression.<br/><br/>Based in a research lab, you undertake research on a project agreed with your research supervisor. On a research-focused Masters course, you take an interactive approach to learning, rather than attending traditional lectures. Seminars, workshops and lab meetings enable you to gain an in-depth understanding of the field.
