Master of Science in Chemical Research

Program Overview

This research-led Chemical Research MSc is designed by world-renowned academics, and provides excellent preparation for a PhD or a career in the chemical industry.

You'll join our tight-knit community and work on your very own extended research project with the guidance and support of our world-leading researchers.

You'll join an active research group in the Department of Chemistry, currently ranked 8th in the UK for its research impact (REF 2021)
You'll benefit from industry links to chemical enterprises of all sizes, including Astra-Zeneca, GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer and Syngenta
You'll work in our state-of-the-art labs alongside our vibrant research community
You'll develop transferrable analytical and research skills that can be applied to a wide variety of careers

This MSc programme is designed to bridge the gap between traditional undergraduate study and the rigours of industry or a research-focused PhD, equipping students with the advanced skills and knowledge required for both paths. Through a combination of intensive hands-on training and in-depth lecture modules, students will build a strong portfolio of skills and gain the confidence to tackle complex chemistry challenges.

With a focus on applying modern chemical techniques to solve real-world problems, the programme provides training on state-of-the-art instrumentation commonly used in industry and academia, including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, chromatography, optical and mass spectroscopy, vacuum systems, scientific computing, and computational modelling.

At the heart of the programme is the Chemical Research Project – an opportunity for students to conduct original experimental or computational research under the guidance of an experienced academic supervisor. Projects are tailored to align with each student's interests and span a wide array of fields, including organic, inorganic, physical, computational, materials, medicinal, pharmaceutical, and analytical chemistry. Students will spend approximately 30 hours per week working alongside PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and technical staff, gaining invaluable skills through collaborative learning and mentorship.
