Summary

Course overview This MRes in Chemistry is a 12 month research-based masters leading to the award of a Master of Research. Students from countries that are not familiar with the MRes qualification may, alternatively, be awarded an MSc by Research.

Are you driven to find clean energy sources? Do you want to help in the fight to develop new medicines? Are you passionate about sustaining a growing population? This full-time, project-based MRes will help you achieve your goals.

The research project is the focus of the programme. You will be part of the team collaborating and working within a dedicated scientific group. Working in a research environment, our academic experts will guide and mentor you. The twelve-month project allows you to make a valuable contribution to research. You’ll gain report writing skills and produce your own thesis with a maximum of 35,000 words, which will be assessed.

Research projects available We conduct pioneering research across the whole spectrum of the chemical sciences. There are a variety of projects you can apply for grouped under four themes:

Synthesis and catalysis Biological chemistry Materials Molecular bonding and spectroscopy See full details of the projects available and supervising academics.

Support You will have at least 10 documented meetings with your supervisor a year but you can typically expect to see them daily or weekly.

Other school staff are available to support you:

Director of Postgraduate Studies Senior Tutor (for pastoral support) Welfare Manager Disability Liaison Officer The school has a postgraduate forum run by students to discuss anything related to their studies.

We have a student-run society called ChemSoc. They organise academic and social activities.
