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.
The English language requirements for our programmes are indicated by English bands, and therefore the specific test and score acceptable is based on the band assigned to the academic department within which your chosen course of study is administered. Note that for some academic departments there are programmes with non-standard English language requirements.
The English Language requirements for entry to postgraduate taught and research programmes in the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences falls within the following English band:
