About Master of Advanced Molecular Synthesis

Course overview

Making molecules is fundamental component of many scientific innovations, including new medicines, materials and agrochemicals to address societal challenges. The efficiency and speed of synthesis remains a bottleneck in their development.

This course explores advances in modern molecular synthesis by considering features of reactivity and the move towards a more data driven discipline.

Through lectures, workshops and discussion groups, you'll deepen your understanding of the efficient synthesis of organic and inorganic compounds.

You'll also receive training in a range of modern approaches designed to automate, analyse and understand synthetic processes.

To build your knowledge further, you’ll complete a research project in a specialised area of your interest, which will also build your management, problem solving and communication skills.
