Interdisciplinary Chemical Research MRes

About

Our Chemistry master's course provides a unique opportunity to work with two academic supervisors from multiple specialisms on an interdisciplinary research project. This will encourage you to think innovatively, outside of the traditional boundaries of chemistry. You will also gain key skills in research techniques, analytical and ethical thinking, project planning, and communication. This Chemistry MRes provides the ideal platform for anyone contemplating a career in scientific research, or associated fields.

Research lies at the heart of the department, ranking in the top 10 in the UK for Chemistry (Times Higher Education 2021)

Most of the chemistry master's is an open-ended research project, where you will work with two expert academic supervisors drawn from different specialisms. This project will enable you to work outside of the traditional boundaries of chemistry, ideally to address cutting-edge research topics and real-world issues.

Your research supervisors can be from multiple disciplines including Engineering, Physics, Imaging Sciences, Dentistry, Neuroscience, The Francis Crick Institute and The Randall Centre for Cell & Molecular Biophysics. This allows you to explore diverse topics aligned to your interests.

You'll initially be based in the heart of London at the Department of Chemistry's Britannia House (near London Bridge), where you will be taught using state-of-the-art lab research facilities.
