Chemistry is in the midst of a transformation driven by advances in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. With cutting-edge facilities, world-beating research, and an outstanding network of industrial partners, Liverpool is one of the best places in the world to study how these technologies are upending traditional approaches to research and giving rise to a new discipline: digital chemistry.
Digital chemistry is the use of AI, big data, and robotics to transform the way we design and make new molecules and materials. Liverpool sits at the forefront of this revolution, from making groundbreaking findings in computational materials discovery to building our own suite of robotic chemists.
Our Digital Chemistry MSc is a cross-disciplinary programme that makes you part of that transformation, providing you with expertise in machine learning, automation, and digitalisation. We teach you these techniques from the ground-up, from Python and Arduino to cheminformatics and applied robotics, empowering you to directly tackle real-world chemistry problems, from climate change to drug discovery. You will develop critical digital skills and apply them across a range of chemical contexts, including pure materials, pharmaceuticals, and formulated materials.
This MSc is also available with the alternative title Digital Chemistry: AI, Machine Learning, Automation and Robotics for September 2026 entry. You have the option to graduate with either of these two MSc titles.
This programme is for BSc (Hons) Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science graduates, or graduates in other chemistry-related fields, with a 2:2 or equivalent, who want to see how code and data are transforming chemistry.
We’ll teach you to code in Python from the ground-up and no prior programming experience is needed. We aim to develop your skills and knowledge in the digital chemistry domain, equipping you for contemporary and pioneering professional practice or further study at the doctoral level.
