You'll benefit from excellent career development opportunities and advanced practical training.You’ll use state of the art equipment in our range of laboratories. These include the single crystal diffraction lab, the mass spectrometry lab and the only dedicated X-ray crystallography teaching facility in a UK university.If you choose a placement in industry, you'll develop work experience, skills and awareness from spending time in a commercial environment.
