The SBM CDT programme is a research degree leading to the award of a DPhil. The CDT offers joint academic-industrial training in all aspects of chemical synthesis coupled with an in-depth appreciation of its application to biology and medicine.
The programme aims to train next-generation doctoral scientists capable of addressing major challenges across the entire remit of organic chemistry, with a focus on skills relevant to the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries.
Designed in collaboration with international pharmaceutical and agrochemical companies who have offered specific expertise to enhance the CDT's training and research, the CDT has adopted an open-access model to ensure free exchange of information, knowledge and expertise between all students, academics and industrial partners.
Students are admitted to the programme without being assigned to a specific research group and are trained initially through a series of taught courses in a single cohort in all aspects of organic synthesis. Details on the modules are provided on the course’s website. Students subsequently undertake two 16-week research rotations in laboratories of their choosing before joining a specific group for a substantive three-year DPhil research project. To enable significant and long term research goals to be tackled, research projects are clustered into four broad areas (‘project fields’):
- new reaction discovery
- exploring new molecular space
- natural product chemistry
- tools for chemical biology.
-
During all four years of the programme, students also receive a tailored programme designed to broaden their research and professional skills, including seminar series throughout the department and a world-class annual visiting speaker programme.

Entry requirements | Degree-level qualifications a first-class or strong upper second-class undergraduate degree with honours in a relevant chemical sciences subject. A previous master's degree (either an integrated master's degree or standalone) is preferred but is not required. For applicants with a degree from the USA, the minimum GPA sought is 3.6 out of 4.0. If your degree is not from the UK or another country specified above, visit our International Qualifications page for guidance on the qualifications and grades that would usually be considered to meet the University’s minimum entry requirements. Substantial professional experience or a graduate qualification may be a substitute for a lower grade at undergraduate level.
