Doctor of Philosophy - PhD
Summary
This PhD offers an academic training route for graduates seeking to perform leading fundamental and technologically relevant research that transcends the traditional discipline boundaries by linking one or more other disciplines with chemistry. Options may include biology, computation, ecology, engineering, environment, medicine and physics.
A substantial amount of research addresses research questions that fall between the boundaries of traditional disciplines. Real-world problems require a multi-disciplinary approach, and research expertise at the interfaces of these disciplines is essential to delivering impactful solutions. A Natural Sciences PhD will capture and give expression to such research training.

| Telephone | 01524 593795 |
| Level | RQF Level 8 |
| Entry requirements | 2:1 Hons degree (UK or equivalent) or Masters degree in Chemistry, or an equivalent degree in a related discipline such as Biochemistry, Biophysics, Physics, Computation or Chemical Engineering, appropriate to the proposed research project. We may also consider non-standard applicants, please contact us for information. As part of your application you will also need to provide a viable research proposal. Guidance can be found on our writing a research proposal webpage. We normally require an IELTS (Academic) Test with an overall score of at least 6.5, and a minimum of 6.0 in each element of the test. We also consider other English language qualifications. |

MSc (Res)
Summary
We offer you an exciting opportunity to undertake and manage your own 12-month research project, gain valuable laboratory experience and forge important relationships in the professional sphere.
Areas of research fall within (but are not limited to) the diverse portfolio of our academic staff – chemistry, engineering, physics, health and medicine.
We provides you with the knowledge and technical skills to produce sustained and original work - work that will underpin progression in your chosen career. At the core of this is your independent research project, in which you will produce new and original data to make a solid contribution to the scientific community.
Our degree format includes nine months of full-time laboratory work as part of a research team, followed by a three-month writing up period. You will be mentored by academics from one or more departments; and offered further opportunities for learning via our graduate training programme.
The dissertation, and a viva voce assessment, will showcase your knowledge and understanding of your chosen research area whilst also demonstrating your ability to critically evaluate existing literature.
You will be supported by your supervisor(s) at every stage: identifying gaps in your knowledge base (and working together to fill them), helping you to develop practical skills, increasing your data analysis skills, and guiding the writing up of your dissertation.
As well as developing intellectual, practical and transferable skills, Lancaster’s Natural Sciences MSc by Research will endow you with authoritative knowledge on a specific subject. You will gain a practical understanding of advanced research techniques, and develop competence in applying these to the development and management of your own research project.
Our graduates are highly-regarded for their communication skills, analytical ability, confidence in critical evaluation, and their competence in interpreting data. This opens doors to careers in charities, government or industry, and provides an excellent grounding for further academic research (such as undertaking a PhD).
If you thrive on independent learning and you’ve identified an area of research that you wish to pursue, we are keen to hear from you. To help match you with one of research team leaders whose interests may align with your own, or if you are unsure about your preferred area of research, please email the department in the first instance and we'll put you in touch with the right person.

| Level | RQF Level 7 |
| Entry requirements | 2:1 Hons degree (UK or equivalent) in Science or Engineering. We may also consider non-standard applicants, please contact us for information. The first step if you are interested in studying for postgraduate research in Natural Science is to find a Supervisor or funded opportunity. We may ask you to provide a recognised English language qualification, dependent upon your nationality and where you have studied previously. We normally require an IELTS (Academic) Test with an overall score of at least 6.5, and a minimum of 6.0 in each element of the test. We also consider other English language qualifications. |
