Digital Chemistry: AI, Machine Learning, Automation and Robotics

About this course

The programme will enable students to relate the concepts and techniques of AI, automation, robotics and machine learning to their applications in chemistry research. Students will extend specific skills and knowledge to a level at which they will be prepared for contemporary and pioneering professional practice or further study at the doctoral level.

Careers and employability

Upon completion of the MSc in Digital Chemistry, students will be qualified to enter a wide range of employment or pursue further study leading to a PhD.

The pharmaceutical, data science, analytics & informatics and chemical research industries are possible employers of graduates, especially given the anticipated increases in the use of next-generation sequencing and the corresponding data analysis that will be required.

Upon completion of the MSc in Digital Chemistry, graduates will also be qualified to enter careers such as finance & banking, software development, teaching and consultancy, where the skills obtained in the degree programme are highly valued.

Occupations linked to students who have studied chemistry in a higher education setting are set to grow across the UK. There is an anticipated growing demand for adaptable scientists who can harness the knowledge and skillsets of digital chemists.
