Interdisciplinary Chemical Research MRes

Our MRes in Interdisciplinary Chemical Research offers a unique opportunity to undertake an interdisciplinary research project in a field of your choice, exploring cutting-edge chemistry across subject boundaries. You'll be trained in key interdisciplinary research skills and work with two academic supervisors from multiple disciplines to conduct open-ended, novel research. Projects are available across a huge range of areas, including physical, biochemistry, computational, organic, inorganic, pharmaceutical, and analytical chemistry. By undertaking this substantial research project, you’ll gain essential workplace skills, including project management, data analysis, and communication, as well as the ability to problem-solve and think innovatively. This experience will train you to become a research scientist, whether you decide to pursue a career in the multiple industries where lab and research skills are highly sought after, or continue to a PhD and career in academia.

A minimum 2:1 undergraduate Bachelor’s (honours) degree. If you have a lower degree classification, or a degree in an unrelated subject, your application may be considered if you can demonstrate significant relevant work experience, or offer a related graduate qualification (such as a Masters or PGDip). Programme specific requirementsApplicants should have a Bachelors degree with a minimum 2.1 Honours (or overseas equivalent) in Chemistry or subjects with analogous labs, e.g. Physics; Biochemistry; Chemical Engineering; Pharmaceutical science; Nanoscience; Materials.Applications will also be considered from those with a Bachelor's degree at 2:2 level (or overseas equivalent) if accompanied by a demonstration of laboratory research experience.
